Hi!

I'm a software engineer, PhD computer scientist, homelabber, content creator, biker, guitar player, husband, and dad.

I specialize in compilers & programming languages, and I have industry work experience in distributed orchestration at scale.

I received my doctorate at IU Bloomington, in computer science, specializing in compilers & programming languages, minoring in logic at the Department of Philosophy. My research investigates optimizing run-time performance of full‑scale production‑grade self‑hosting language implementations on tracing JIT compiler back-ends (dissertation).

I joined Canonical to understand and practice distributed orchestration at scale. I worked there about three years as a part of the Juju team.

How do you say your name?

I'm a US national; I have been living in US for about ten years, and this is by far the most common question that I get here.
My wife is a native English speaker, so I understand well why it's difficult to pronounce. No worries, you may pronounce it however it is easiest for you. If you want to hear the way I pronounce my full name, here's a sound sample:
