Ask me about joining the adventure.Aside from that, I help tech companies with practical R&D management, architecture, and developing solutions to their toughest problems. I’m equally happy to guide/support existing staff, or to tackle things hands-on. If you’re looking to solve a big engineering or engineering management problem, I’d love to talk. Let’s see how I can help you as a consultant.I’ve worked on many technologies in multiple domains, including- Complex production systems on AWS & GCP- Distributed Computing- System and OS level security- High Performance Computing- Kernel development (device drivers, file system, memory hacks)- Storage- Data Engineering- DevOpsAs an R&D manager I also worked a lot on team building, engineering culture, and team professional development. I believe these are crucial for a high performing R&D team.I'm a hacker at heart with more than two decades of experience. In the past, I co-founded Binaris and led development of a super-fast low-cost Serverless platform. I built a high-performance distributed analytics engine, worked on fibre channel drivers, designed and implemented a distributed network file system, and worked on low level security enhancements, for a variety of Unixes.I am also an avid D&D player and love to play Nethack.
