This is how I work
I design, analyze, and improve technical systems. Mostly infrastructure, automation, and things that quietly break at 03:00.
This page exists to save both of us time.
What I value
- Correctness over speed
- Simple systems over clever ones
- Documentation that matches reality
- Fixing root causes, not symptoms
- Automation only where it makes sense
What I don’t do
- No hype-driven tooling
- No unnecessary complexity
- No “move fast and hope” production systems
- No AI theater or productivity cosplay
How I use AI
I use AI as a multiplier, not a replacement.
- Drafting documentation
- Reviewing configurations
- Exploring edge cases
- Speeding up research
Decisions remain human.
What working with me looks like
- Clear scope
- Direct communication
- Written outcomes
- No performative meetings
Good fit
You might want to talk if:
- Your system feels fragile
- Automation exists but no one trusts it
- You want fewer tools, not more
- You value boring reliability
Bad fit
- You want miracles
- You want speed without tradeoffs
- You want trends instead of understanding
