SOFTWARE ARCHITECT · DRAWING NO. 0001

I architect distributed systems that hold up at 3 AM.

Two careers, one instinct: design for the load before you draw the details. I build event-driven architectures, real-time platforms, and the developer tooling that holds them together.

BUILD TIME REDUCTION

CI/CD Pipeline Optimization

How I restructured a monolith's build system and CI pipeline: replacing Dockerfile builds with JIB, adding per-app change detection, and cutting pipeline times by 83%.

EventHorizon: The Ultimate Data Detection Engine

Designing a generic, pluggable anomaly detection platform using Apache Flink, Kafka, Micronaut, and ML/LLM integration. The culmination of building similar systems in Ruby, Java, Python, and TypeScript across multiple industries.

EKS Cluster Migrations

Upgrading EKS clusters to v1.32 and migrating Karpenter to v1 across 100+ production services with zero downtime, all as a solo DevOps engineer racing to avoid extended support charges.

§04 — DISCIPLINE INDEX
D.10

Performance Optimization

47-minute CI pipelines down to under 8. JIB + change detection + a structural untangle of 32 Gradle projects.
D.20

System Architecture

Real-time anomaly detection on Flink + Kafka. Same backbone, four industries.
D.30

Cloud Infrastructure

EKS clusters upgraded to 1.32 across 100+ services. Solo, deadline pressure, zero downtime.
D.40

Explorations

Agent orchestration, shared context layers, the next layer of developer tooling.
