    <p>
      I love figuring out how to help others work more efficiently. This can take many
      forms: better abstractions, automation, introducing new infrastructure, or
      re-expressing existing infrastructure as a composition of well-understood systems.
      I have worked on a wide variety of systems and serve as a leader and/or mentor for
      my teams. I am now looking for a role where I can force-multiply my experience at
      a larger scale.

      <p>
        I was responsible for organizing all development and operations contributions

        <li>
          Developed open-source packaging of Chameleon systems, monitoring, and
          operational knowledge (e.g., runbooks, docs), reducing the complexity of

        <li>
          Migrated infrastructure to federated identity, improving onboarding UX for

        </li>
        <li>
          Developed, maintained, and extended the cloud computing control plane that
          powers six installations of Chameleon, providing clusters of KVM, bare metal
          and edge/IoT resources. Worked on a daily basis w/ a wide variety of tools
          and technologies across systems, networking, and storage.
