About

Staff SRE with 13+ years building and scaling infrastructure for products serving millions of users. I specialize in platform transformations — taking systems from frequent outages to 99.95% uptime, reducing cloud costs, and building observability that enables teams to move faster with confidence. Deep expertise in AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Nomad, and Datadog.

Currently at Dashlane leading observability, SLO frameworks, and disaster recovery. Previously led infrastructure and product at Telpark (4M+ users, 30+ services, 45 engineers) and Etleap.
