About Me
Head of Solutions Engineering with 17+ years across Infrastructure, Cloud, Security and AI.
LinkedIn ProfileI started in the server room. Racking hardware, configuring hypervisors, debugging storage at 2 AM. Over the years, the scope grew — from managing infrastructure to designing it, from running operations to shaping strategy.
Today I work at the intersection of enterprise infrastructure and AI adoption. I help organizations figure out what to build, what to buy, and what to skip — with a bias toward decisions that hold up five years from now, not just five months.
This site is where I share what I learn. Every article comes from real experience — not theory, not marketing, not recycled slides. If it's here, I've either built it, broken it, or watched someone else do both.
