Full Stack Engineer @ HealthStream
Building reliable systems at the intersection of platform engineering and distributed infrastructure.
I'm a full stack engineer with a strong pull toward platform engineering, distributed systems, and the architectural decisions that make large-scale software actually work. I enjoy reading engineering blogs from companies like Uber, Doordash, and Google as much as I enjoy writing code — and I try to bring those ideas into my own projects.
When I'm not building at work, I'm contributing to open source tools in the cloud-native ecosystem and exploring systems concepts hands-on.
- Platform Engineering — Internal developer platforms, golden paths, self-service infra
- Distributed Systems — Consensus, observability, fault tolerance, service mesh
- Go — My primary language for systems and backend work
- Architecture — Designing for reliability, scalability, and operational simplicity
A distributed infrastructure monitoring and auto-remediation system, inspired by Uber's Crane. Built in Go.
Crane OSS continuously scans hosts for problems and automatically takes corrective actions — draining, replacing, or reprovisioning hosts — to maintain infrastructure reliability without human intervention.

Go Distributed Systems AWS PostgreSQL Kubernetes CRDs Platform Engineering
A minimal developer pod environment. Focused on making local development setups fast, reproducible, and closer to production.
Go Developer Tooling Platform Engineering Docker
An HTTP server implementation built from scratch on top of raw TCP sockets. A deep dive into the HTTP protocol — parsing requests, building responses, and managing connections without relying on standard library abstractions.
Go Networking Systems Programming
A project exploring real-time audio streaming using the Spotify API.
Streaming APIs Rust
opentelemetry-dotnet — OpenTelemetry
Contributed multiple improvements to the OpenTelemetry .NET SDK, part of the CNCF ecosystem for distributed tracing and observability.
Kyverno — CNCF Policy Engine
Contributed to Kyverno, the Kubernetes-native policy engine for enforcing security and compliance rules across clusters.
