Systems Engineer · Rust · Kubernetes · Distributed Systems · Cloud Infrastructure

I build reliable, observable, and scalable systems that run in production. I enjoy working across the full stack — from low-level systems software to cloud-native infrastructure — with a strong focus on how low-level decisions impact real-world reliability, performance, and operations.

Stack

Core / Foundational

  • Operating Systems — Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora), Unix, Windows Server
  • Scripting & Automation — Bash, Python, PowerShell, Go
  • Version Control & CI/CD — Git, GitHub/GitLab, GitHub Actions

Infrastructure & Cloud

  • Cloud Platforms — AWS (primary), Google Cloud
  • Containerization & Orchestration — Docker, Kubernetes
  • Infrastructure as Code — Terraform, Ansible

Monitoring & Observability

  • Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog

Networking & Distributed Systems

  • Protocols: TCP/IP, HTTP/gRPC, WebSockets
  • Tools & Concepts: Load balancing, Raft/Paxos consensus, service meshes (Istio), PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka

Languages Rust Go Java Python C

Areas of Focus

Distributed Systems & Reliability — Building systems that handle failure gracefully, maintain consistency, and scale horizontally (SmartQueue, consensus explorations).

Cloud-Native Infrastructure — Designing and operating platforms on Kubernetes and AWS with strong observability and automation.

Systems Programming — Low-level Rust and Linux internals (memory management, concurrency, syscall tracing) that power high-performance components.

Production Mindset — I write software assuming I’ll be the one paged when it breaks.

Currently Exploring

  • Advanced Kubernetes patterns (operators, custom controllers)
  • eBPF for observability and runtime security
  • Distributed consensus algorithms and production database internals
  • SRE practices: error budgets, toil reduction, and chaos engineering

Featured Projects

  • RavenMQ — Production-grade distributed task scheduler with LSTM-based runtime prediction, leader election, exactly-once semantics, and Kubernetes-native autoscaling.
  • EchoTrap — Intelligent async TCP honeypot built with Tokio for attack detection and dynamic evasion.
  • SysRift — ptrace-based syscall recorder/replayer for deterministic debugging of non-deterministic behavior.
