Cloud Engineering Technical Lead at Cisco Systems
I cut my teeth at Limelight Networks, where I spent years deep in CDN infrastructure, content delivery at scale, and the operational challenges that come with keeping a global network running. That foundation in reliability and performance shaped how I think about every system I touch.
Now at Cisco, I'm focused on applying AI to observability -- finding practical solutions that protect the customer, speed up resolution, and unlock engineers to do higher-value work instead of chasing dashboards. I care about efficiency that actually moves the needle, not AI for the sake of AI.
- Observability -- my core passion. Building systems that surface the right signal, not just more noise.
- AI for Operations -- practical AI solutions for customer success, not demos. Real workflows, real efficiency gains.
- Customer-First Engineering -- everything starts with the customer experience and works backward.
- Infrastructure & Automation -- rooted in CDN, SRE, and infrastructure-as-code. I automate relentlessly.
When I'm not working on making operations smarter, you'll find me in the workshop. Woodworking and handyman projects are my reset -- building things with your hands hits different when you spend all day building things with code.
