How I think.
What I care about.

I think about systems the way an architect thinks about buildings: the visible interface is important, but the load-bearing structure is everything. Good data infrastructure is invisible — it just works, reliably, at scale.

I'm drawn to the constraints that make engineering interesting: latency budgets, consistency guarantees, failure modes. These aren't obstacles — they're the design surface.

Outside of pure engineering, I think products are how ideas compound. A well-built system serves its purpose, but a well-designed product creates leverage.
