Systems architect. I design and operate distributed platforms that process 200B+ data points/month across 750K industrial sensors.

I believe in building from first principles — understanding the machine before writing the code. When Celery’s ETA scheduler had an unbounded memory leak, I didn’t file an issue. I traced it through Kombu’s QoS layer, found the missing prefetch cap, and shipped the fix upstream. It runs in production everywhere now.

Currently building:

StreamGate — Lock-free observability governance proxy in Go. 200K+ events/sec, zero-allocation hot path. Filters noise and redacts PII from observability pipelines before they hit your vendor. Recognized by Datadog engineering.

Cartograph — AI-powered code flow explorer. Parses codebases, discovers entry points, traces execution flows as interactive DAGs. Don’t read the code — read the story. Tested against a production Django/Celery codebase (509 entry points discovered).

Open source contributions:

• Celery — Fixed unbounded memory leak in ETA task scheduling. Shipped in v5.6.0. PR #9853
• Kombu — Added max_prefetch to QoS class, capping heap growth. Shipped in v5.6.0. PR #2348

Celery is downloaded 10M+ times/month. The fix affects every deployment using ETA/countdown tasks.
