What I Do

I help organizations design, stabilize, and scale Linux infrastructure without unnecessary complexity.

Most performance problems aren't caused by a lack of tools — they're caused by poor judgment under pressure. I've seen what works, what breaks, and what looks smart but quietly causes long-term damage.

I focus on clear diagnosis, minimal intervention, and long-term stability, especially in environments where mistakes are expensive.

If your systems are growing faster than your confidence in them, I can help you regain control.

Experience & Perspective

  • 27 years working with Linux in production
  • Designed and operated fleets exceeding 7,000 servers
  • Deep experience in finance, enterprise, and high-stakes production environments where uptime and predictability matter

My approach is measured, practical, and grounded in real operational experience.

How I Work

  • Honest recommendations — even when the answer is "don't change anything yet"

Temperance matters in infrastructure. Restraint is often the difference between stability and chaos.
