30 Years of Engineering Architecture
I’ve designed and built systems at every scale—from startup MVPs to consumer applications serving 80M+ monthly active users. I’ve architected network measurement features, data lake pipelines, and platform integrations that have run reliably for a decade.
Large-Scale Consumer and Enterprise Experience
At Ookla, I defined the platform architecture used to integrate 7 acquired products, including authentication, metrics ingestion (1B+ data points/day), data governance, and query APIs. I’ve built systems that balance consumer simplicity with enterprise requirements.
Hands-On Technical Depth
I’m not an ivory-tower architect. I’ve written kernel code at SGI, built OSS/BSS systems processing $100M in revenue, and authored reference methodology documentation for Speedtest. I understand the trade-offs because I’ve implemented them.
