Currently, I own and operate critical runtime infrastructure powering monthly users on Bloomberg’s BQuant platform. My main goal while developing software solutions is reliability and scalability.Beyond the day-to-day, I am an active contributor to the cloud-native community. I am a multiple-time speaker at DevOps Con, where I’ve presented on Kubernetes and Docker internals, and have presented at Bloomberg’s Internal Guild Week on Python package management. I also actively contribute to the open-source ecosystem, including projects like Conda/Rattler.
