I’ve spent over a decade in full stack, SRE, devops, and security roles across regulated industries such as finance, law, and human subjects research.
I’m currently searching for a principal engineer IC role on a fast-moving team at an engineering-centric company. If that sounds like you, read on - or just get in touch.
Located in Boston, can travel to NYC/DC. Open to remote and hybrid roles.
I’ve been a founding engineer, as well as infrastructure and security lead, for three consecutive startups. Each has successfully launched to paying customers.
My recent focus has been ML/AI infrastructure and compliance, but I have been a full stack programmer for over 20 years. My ideal role would involve working with emerging research in distributed systems, AI, cryptography, or privacy engineering. My current tech “wishlist” includes WASM, LLMs, ATproto, graph databases, Rust, and Elixir.
I’ve also contributed to tech as a former organizer of DevOpsDays Boston, a conference speaker, and even an occasional podcast guest. I’ve also worked with O’Reilly to teach an infrastructure-as-code course and author a book chapter in Seeking SRE.
We may be a great match if you need expertise in:
Outside of work, I'm a co-founder of an affordable housing cooperative along with my partner of over ten years. We often have over a dozen housemates living with us.
Our community maintains an edible garden, including native fruit trees like highbush cranberry and pawpaw. I'm an avid cook and make use of everything we grow while learning about cuisines from around the world.
My current focus is finding a full time role where I can apply my skills. I’m open to bootstrapping another startup, but will also consider autonomous teams within established companies.
I also occasionally engage in contract work (non-C2C), such as hands-on coding trainings or expert network research.
