With 26 years of experience in information technology, I specialize in building resilient infrastructure that thrives under pressure. My expertise spans FreeBSD and Linux systems, PostgreSQL, nginx/OpenResty, and monitoring solutions like Redis and Prometheus. I excel at identifying the root cause of issues, implementing config management that ensures rapid deployments, and crafting monitoring systems that preempt outages. My recent role involved supporting infrastructure for a high-uptime financial exchange, where I developed solutions for rate limiting and JWT validation. I write production code in Rust, Lua, Python, and Shell to create tailored solutions when existing options fall short.
