Infrastructure Architect & Systems Engineer
For more than 25 years I’ve designed and operated reliable computing environments. I focus primarily on Linux and open-source software, building systems that are simple, scalable, and engineered for longevity.
Currently, I manage the infrastructure supporting spaceflight operations and organizational systems. The environment includes a modern Cisco-based core network and roughly 40 Dell servers running Debian on ZFS. Together they provide over 200 LXC and KVM instances along with 10 PB of network storage supporting high-resolution scientific image data workflows. I oversee the entire lifecycle of this infrastructure, including upgrades, networking, storage, security, and the operational architecture that keeps everything running smoothly.
Outside of work I maintain a growing collection of vintage computing hardware from the 1990s onward and experiment with systems design, storage architecture, and compute clusters in my home lab. Recently this has included building an HPC cluster for distributed inference using NCCL.
