Tech Lead · Speaker · Open Source Builder
Download PDFTech Lead at RedCarbon: technical direction across the platform, and the AI agents that run on it. Ten years of DevOps and platform engineering behind that (Go, Kubernetes, GitOps, DDD). I work where AI does real security work, and where the code AI writes has to be secured. Co-founder of Schrodinger Hat, co-organizer of Open Source Day.
