I lead infrastructure teams at athenahealth, focused on platform engineering. Started out in SRE, so I tend to obsess over the boring-but-critical stuff — reliability, scale, why things break at 2am. I write ThePlatformBrief on the side, mostly documenting what I'm figuring out in real time rather than pretending I had it all worked out from day one. If you're navigating a platform engineering career, thinking about the IC-to-EM jump, or just want a sounding board on an infra decision you're stuck on — that's what I'm here for.
