Seventeen years writing software, the last twelve applying it to networks. I architect networks for distributed systems — automation-first platforms for hybrid cloud enterprise with security policy and telemetry built in rather than bolted on — and I have carried that across the whole estate: AWS and Azure, data-center fabrics, SD-WAN, wireless, NAC, and the escalation desk for the incidents nobody else can explain. Now building toward quantum networking through Georgia Tech and the University of Chicago.
Intended-state platforms that continuously fetch actual state across AWS, Azure, on-prem fabrics, and firewalls, alert on drift, and converge automatically — or promote the observed change into a new intended state. JanusGraph, Temporal, FastAPI, Batfish.
Consolidating disparate policy authorities — Cisco FTD/ASA, Palo Alto, Azure NSG, Zscaler ZPA — into RBAC-enforced, CI/CD-consumable self-service. Zero trust as a platform property, not a project.
OpenTelemetry pipelines, flow analysis, and ML-driven anomaly detection with automated root-cause analysis across network, compute, and application layers.
Cisco Viptela SD-WAN across 13 sites, ASR 9000 WAN edge, Cisco ISE for NAC/802.1X on wireless and Catalyst switching, Meraki, and telemetry for the wireless estate. Ongoing capacity review across the full network, wireless included.
SONiC overlay integration with OpenStack, eBPF/XDP diagnostics and traffic shaping, Kubernetes CNI, and Linux kernel networking bridging on-prem and cloud. See the eBPF overlay lab →
AWS (VPC, TGW, PrivateLink), Azure hybrid tenancy, GCP; distributed provisioning via AWX and Nautobot; F5, DNS/IPAM, and high-availability architectures at scale.
L4 escalation for complex cross-layer incidents since 2019, and ad-hoc initiatives to identify, prioritize, and improve delivery of the SLAs that matter most. Off the on-call rotation; on the hook for the hard ones.
Standards and design governance for a hybrid enterprise. Leading principal and junior engineers; integrator across application, security, infrastructure, and operations.
Bringing control-plane automation, telemetry, and AI security boundaries to quantum network operations. Coursework in progress at the University of Chicago and Georgia Tech — see Direction ↓
Technical lead for network software engineering across a hybrid enterprise. The resume gives the one-page version; here is the longer arc.
DB Operations — 24×7 support of Oracle, Sybase, and SQL systems. Root cause analysis, queue management, and operational reliability.
Telephony software engineering — custom IVR systems and CDR processing built in C/C++. Full software lifecycle from requirements through delivery.
Quantum networks are leaving the lab. When they do, they will need what every production network needs — a control plane, a source of truth, telemetry that surfaces drift, and security boundaries that hold. Those are the problems I have spent twelve years solving for hybrid cloud at enterprise scale. I am now building the quantum foundations to apply that experience where it will matter next.
Quantum key distribution, entanglement distribution, quantum repeaters, and the classical control-plane requirements of quantum network architectures.
Qubits, gates, and algorithms as the substrate for quantum communication — building the theoretical grounding beneath the networking layer.
Open to full-time, contract, and consulting opportunities in network automation, telemetry, and security — and to quantum networking roles where classical control-plane and operations experience is the missing piece. R&D-oriented work preferred, with selective operational scope. Remote or US-based.
