Hello, recruiters.

Look at your team. Now back to me. Now back to your team. Now back to me.
Sadly, I'm not on your team. But if you message me looking for a technical leader, I could be on your team.

Look down. Back up. Where are you? You're in a conference room with me, the engineer that could be on your team.

What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It's a manila folder with an offer to join the team you love.
Look again. The offer is now accepted.

Anything is possible when you know how to find great engineers. 

I'm on a horse.

I've debated back and forth of making my "About" section more serious. LinkedIn is, after all, about professionals. I've ultimately decided to keep the joke (with this explanation) because I think we can all use a little more levity and a little less formality. Besides, growth and success aren't built by robots - they're built by people - and having a little fun goes a long way.

For clarity: I build and run large, high-stakes technology systems with real consequences. My work lives at the intersection of infrastructure, security, cost, and people - designing platforms that don’t rely on heroics and teams that don’t rely on hierarchy. I care about durability, judgment, and making complex systems boring in the best possible way. Titles matter less to me than ownership, and status matters less than whether the thing actually works when it’s under pressure.
