Building fast, durable systems — and the craft behind them.

I've spent the last several years shipping software that real people rely on — backend services, developer tools, and the occasional deeply unfashionable internal CLI. Right now I'm deep in video infrastructure: ingest pipelines, transcoding at scale, and the edge caching that gets frames to viewers fast.

I care about correctness, taste, and shipping. I write here mostly to think out loud — post-mortems, patterns that held up under load, and opinions I'd defend with diagrams.
