Staff AI Engineer with a pre-AI-era background on Cloud, Distributed Computing, Networking and Software Engineering
Building things nobody asked for, one repo at a time.
My journey started when I was just a curious 12-year-old kid, begging my mom to buy me the book "Hacking Exposed 4: Network Security Secrets & Solutions" published by McGraw Hill. I still get chills thinking about it!
Honestly though, after reading it, I realized I'd prefer building things rather than breaking them. Fast forward over two decades, and here I am — fully embracing life in the cloud, building and scaling apps, and loving every second of it.
- Why I built akou, one app for my calls and my dictation
- Overengineering in DevOps, and the network project that could have been an email
- What disaster recovery needs when the region dies
- Deploying a three-node Garage S3 cluster and hooking it up to Duplicacy
- Building a GenieACS MCP server in Go so an LLM can manage routers
