Hello, World

Posted on 2026-07-17

Welcome to the blog. This is a placeholder post so the blog has something in it while I build out the rest of the site.

What this is

I am a software / site reliability engineer who likes to write things down. This corner of the internet collects:

• Notes from work I find interesting — distributed systems, observability, ops.
• Postmortems and the lessons drawn from them.
• Reading lists, so I stop losing track of the books and papers that shaped how I think.

An example snippet

Because no first post is complete without a little code:

# the most reliable deploy script ever written
git pull --ff-only && \
  make build && \
  make test && \
  ./deploy.sh && \
  echo "ship it"

What's next

• A post on SLOs that aren't lying to you.
• Notes on the CAP theorem, re-read for the fifth time.
• A review of whatever I'm reading this month.

Check back, or subscribe to the RSS feed once I wire one up.
