The Philosophy

I've been building things since 2011 — container runtimes from scratch, multi-agent AI systems, and 15+ years of making Go do unreasonable things.

Currently serving as Staff DevOps Engineer at Automattic, I work on infrastructure, reliability, and developer experience for a fully distributed team. I optimize distributed systems and lead cloud-native transformations with an obsession for precision, performance, and long-term maintainability.

Beyond the IDE, I treat software as structural engineering: strong types, functional paradigms, and deterministic environments. I automate the mundane and architect what is next.

Building a Container Runtime from Scratch

2026

Sat 17th October, 9:00 am – 9:30 am

GopherCon Africa • Nairobi

Containers often feel like magic: run a command, and suddenly your application is isolated from the rest of the system. But what is actually happening underneath?

From veth Pairs to Services: The Secret Life of Container Packets

2026

Thu 12th February, 4:55 pm – 5:30 pm

ContainerDays London • London

Containers make networking look simple: kubectl exec into a pod and curl just works. Under the hood lies a fascinating stack of Linux features — network namespaces, veth pairs, bridges, and iptables — that power connectivity in standalone Docker and Kubernetes pods.

Containers make networking look simple: kubectl exec into a pod and curl just works. But under the hood lies a fascinating stack of Linux features — network namespaces, veth pairs, bridges, and iptables — that power connectivity in both standalone Docker containers and Kubernetes pods.
