End-to-end Security and (Site/Infra) Reliability for organizations small and large. In the past 15+ years, I've worn most hats at least once. I thrive on solving challenges, learning new systems, and enabling others. From the nascent days of an SME, to Fortune 500 with hundreds of bespoke microservices and thousands of contributors, I enjoy collaborating with diverse teams that share passion for driving success.SRE and Security share a common goal: sustained performance and availability. The tools and methods to support that goal differs between the two disciplines, but the fundamental skills that drive success are consistent. Awareness, communication and problem solving are chief amongst them.Recruiters: Open to remote or on-site positions in the SF Bay Area. Some travel OK. L6 and above.Role Scoping: If your hiring manager is seeking a "strong coding" candidate, I'm likely not the best fit. "DevOps" roles seeking a "Dev" with "Ops" experience is a different breed. While I can often predict the assumption an engineer made based on a fault condition in a production environment, or my ability to exploit a "loophole", I'm better suited to educating the engineer than replacing them.I'm familiar with many stacks and possess many skills, serving many purposes.
