Work on smallish Open Source projects on evenings and weekends. Built on a variety of platforms and languages over the years. As someone with a history in C, shell scripting, Perl, Go, and many others, I prefer to use the right tool for the job than become narrowly specialized in anything. Though, I admit that I sometimes build in something new just to learn it.

APIs can be a mess. I aim at making APIs easier to work with via better SDKs, more observability, better tooling to help document the interface, and using the most advanced technologies to make APIs better, more usable, and free up developers to focus on business logic rather than a bunch bootstrapping and administrivia.

Lots of deep networking work, filtering and manipulating TCP and HTTP traffic, and helping to ensure that enterprise applications running across complex Kubernetes architectures can find the services they depend upon, ensure communication is robust, and keep all communication secure all based upon declarative configuration.
