Message

At Bud Ecosystem, I wrote a Kubernetes operator that improved cold-start performance on production LLM workloads by 40–400%. I also led an infrastructure-as-code migration involving Terraform, BareMetal, NixOS, Kubernetes, VXLAN, and BGP.

At NocoDB, I built a managed hosting platform using TypeScript, Nix, and AWS, and led its AWS infrastructure-as-code transition. I also maintain NixOS networking fixes, tests, packages, and modules, and have built open-source projects in network observability, DNS, and Linux tooling.
