The short version.
Fifteen-plus years inside one of the largest investment banks in the world. The work has consistently been the unglamorous and important kind — keeping production systems honest, building the observability other engineers depended on, and making the platforms that let teams ship safely.
I came into SRE the long way. Production support taught me how systems actually fail at three in the morning. Platform work taught me how to stop most of those failures from happening in the first place. SRE gave me the discipline and the language to put numbers on both. Along the way I've designed and operated end-to-end services — including Data Lake and Lakehouse platforms — and navigated the compliance and reporting requirements that come with working in regulated financial infrastructure. The page below describes how I operate the way I'd describe any other production service.
