Systems at scale
High-throughput services and distributed systems at Meta — the engineering of moving real traffic without falling over, and the performance work that makes it economical.
Software & systems engineering
Building software simply, so it can keep changing.
15+ years building backend systems, open-source frameworks, and the performance work that keeps software dependable at scale. Ex-Meta, ex–Red Hat Quarkus core team. Recently going hands-on with agents and MCP — built miniswe from scratch, and feature and hardening work on a real-world MCP server.
Open-source frameworks
Core framework work on the Quarkus team at Red Hat — building the substrate other developers build on, where fast and efficient is the whole premise.
Agents from scratch
I built miniswe, a coding agent written from the ground up, to understand agents at the engineering level — not as a framework black box.
See minisweA bit about me: 15+ years across early-stage startups, open source, and Big Tech. At Red Hat I worked on the Quarkus core team, created SmallRye Stork, and led the REST Client Reactive, gRPC, and Fault Tolerance work. At Meta I led the design and implementation of a sharded synchronous text matching system handling millions of QPS at millisecond latency, globally. Full background on LinkedIn.
More recently I’ve gone hands-on with agents and the Model Context Protocol — building a coding agent from scratch (miniswe), and doing feature and hardening work on a real-world MCP server. I build and dig into agents from the ground up because you don’t really understand a system until you’ve built one and measured it.
I’m also a father of three. It’s taught me to listen before I solve, and that the most important problems aren’t always the loudest ones.
