I’m a software engineer focused on the space between development and operations. Not DevOps—that’s a culture, not a job title. I work on security, compliance, infrastructure, and engineering efficiency, viewed through the lens of software delivery.

Most organizations struggle with software delivery. They adopt tools without understanding problems. They follow “best practices” without questioning assumptions. They optimize locally while ignoring system-wide bottlenecks. The result: slow releases, fragile systems, and frustrated engineers.

My approach prioritizes clarity over cleverness, simplicity over sophistication, and measurable outcomes over process theater. If something is labeled a “best practice,” I’ll dismantle it to understand why it exists and under what conditions it actually applies. Gatekeeping disguised as expertise doesn’t interest me.

I write about technical problems I encounter, decisions I make, and lessons I learn. The writing is direct and factual. No embellishments.
