This is the first post on the new blog! I've wanted a place to write about engineering leadership, distributed systems, and building software - without a platform deciding who sees it.

What I'll write about

  • Engineering leadership and platform/SRE work across regions
  • Building systems from scratch - like kivo, a Redis-compatible store I wrote in Go
  • Hard-won lessons from operating large-scale consumer services
  • The life struggles of engineering leaders - no one tells about
  • My thoughts about AI, design and everything interesting

Thanks for reading - more soon.
