The infrastructurenobody seesuntil it breaks.
I spend most of my time in the parts of software people never look at — backend services, message queues, and the infrastructure that only becomes visible the moment it stops working.
I got here by breaking things on purpose: standing up a Docker lab on my laptop and wrecking it until SSH, Ansible, and a fleet of microservices finally behaved. I write the working version and the version that didn't — publicly, as I go.
Fast facts
// favourite number
changed=0 — a clean Ansible play recap is my idea of a good day.
// two GSoCs, two worlds
a 15-year-old GWT frontend at MIT App Inventor, then change-data-capture infra at Debezium / Red Hat.
// learning style
break it in a Docker lab, read the stack trace, fix it, write it down.
// comfort zone
the backend nobody sees. Discomfort zone: CSS — so I built the MacBook on the home page in pure CSS 3D.
// ships with
Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, and an unreasonable fondness for observability dashboards.
// coffee
∞ — it's in the footer for a reason.
