About

I build products at the intersection of complex infrastructure and the operators who need to control it — without becoming network engineers themselves. My instinct is to get close to the machinery: BGP routing tables, Terraform provisioning pipelines, BGP holdtimer tuning for trading desks. Not because I want to be an engineer, but because you cannot design a good abstraction layer without understanding what you are abstracting.

That instinct has taken me from maritime fleet connectivity at Shoft Shipyard — multi-path WAN routing for 30+ vessels across VSAT, LTE, and shore fibre — to enterprise network platform strategy at Fidelity for 80,000+ associates, to AI traffic routing architecture at Modguard. Every environment has a different protocol stack and a different regulatory context. The PM problem is always the same: how do you let the right people make the right routing decision in the shortest possible time?

Currently based in Austin, TX. Lawful permanent resident — authorized to work in the US without sponsorship now or in the future.

Life Outside Work

When I'm not shipping routing products, you'll find me behind a canvas, behind a bar, or somewhere between canyon walls. Ask me about US National Parks, Madhubani paintings, ship-building, or Indian music.
