About
I am a principal engineer and architect with more than 30 years in software engineering. For roughly the last 15 years, I have worked at the seam between release, security, compliance, infrastructure engineering, and product teams.
I connect processes and systems, usually when a repeated decision needs to be made explicit and codified. My work includes the people around those systems: product engineers, infrastructure engineers, security and compliance teams, QA, and technical writers.
I favor simple, deterministic automation and evidence that supports the claim being made. The aim is not process for its own sake. It is a delivery system people can understand, operate under pressure, and change with confidence.
