I design networks, build the tools to manage them, and believe
automation is the hill worth dying on. Go for applications.
Python for scripts. AI for velocity.
TACACS+, command authorization, guardrails over trust
Ops & Monitoring
Real-time telemetry, AI triage, alert entropy reduction
I build for operators: configs, systems, and tools that other humans can run.

Just Say Yes
The biggest lesson of my career has nothing to do with technology. It's that titles mean nothing, anyone can learn anything from anyone, and we're all just people figuring it out day by day.

Commit Confirmed 9
My production change philosophy is boring on purpose. Five non-negotiables, a war story about deleting an Exchange mailstore, and why nine minutes is the sweet spot between yelling and pitchforks.

If the Poller Catches It, You're Already Late
Most monitoring is archaeology. Something breaks, an alert fires five minutes later, and then a human starts digging. The real answer is layered: streaming for events, polling for trends, and AI for triage.

Just Build It
Off-the-shelf tools do too much and bill too much. Open source takes too long to fit. With AI accelerating development, building exactly what you need isn't idealism — it's economics.

Trust Your Team, Fence Everyone Else
I trust my team — the people I work with day in and day out. I don't trust teams I don't know. That's not personal, it's sane access design. Guardrails beat hope.
