Principal Software Engineer based in Hercules, CA. I work on distributed systems, data engineering, and AI infrastructure, mostly on the heavier end of things: Kubernetes, Spark, LangChain, DuckDB.

Lately I’ve been interested in how much of the complexity in enterprise data engineering is actually necessary, and building small projects to find out. I learn best by building something minimal enough to hold in your head all at once and then seeing where it gets complicated.
