The Engineer Behind the Fleet
7+ years in IT operations. Now leveling up into systems engineering.
At Team Liquid, Stagwell, and Creative Artists Agency, I was the person who got the call when things broke. Tier III escalation across identity, endpoints, and infrastructure for globally distributed teams. That work taught me what resilience actually looks like in production.
The Alliance Fleet is where I put that experience to work. I recreate enterprise operations in my homelab to design, break, diagnose, and document real infrastructure. Every VLAN, every firewall rule, every monitoring pipeline exists because I wanted to understand why it works, not just how to configure it.
The proof is in the projects, the writeups, and the blog.
What I'm Building Toward
The principles I hold myself to:
- → Design fault domains before deploying workloads
- → Treat identity and network boundaries as foundational controls
- → Favor explicit trust and default-deny over convenience
- → Make observability and documentation first-class components
- → Automate to reduce cognitive load, not just manual effort
These come from enterprise environments where outages had real consequences. I apply them daily in the Fleet.
