In-Band Hardware Lifecycle Automation
LinuxRustfirmwareinventoryrecovery
Built host-side automation patterns for taking ownership of machines already in unknown, unwanted, or pre-imaged states by collecting lifecycle evidence, validating configuration, and recovering systems from the operating system path.
Hardware, Fabric, and Storage Validation
HardwareInfiniBandRoCENVMe-oFWeka
Validated high-bandwidth networking and storage behavior for AI and supercomputing systems, including topology, congestion, workload placement, and benchmark interpretation.
Enterprise Hardware and Regulated Environments
ServiceNowFedRAMPIL5Ceph
Worked through hardware, firmware, storage, networking, and reliability concerns in environments where operational discipline mattered more than novelty.
Startup Infrastructure Products
pre-seedSeries Acustomer-specificplatform
Helped fast-moving teams turn infrastructure ideas into customer-facing systems, internal platforms, and delivery paths that could survive real adoption.
Rust Systems Automation
RustRedfishfleet toolingvalidation
Built practical Rust tools for infrastructure discovery, host automation, validation workflows, and operator-facing systems where correctness and portability mattered.
AI-Ready Knowledge Layers
retrievalpermissionsworkflowsreadiness
Helped pre-AI companies turn documents, workflows, customer context, and operator judgment into governed knowledge layers that AI systems could use without losing ownership or control.
AI System Observability
evaluationtelemetryincidentscost
Designed observability paths for AI products and infrastructure so teams could inspect model behavior, latency, cost, retrieval quality, operator actions, and failure modes after launch.
