I build networked and distributed systems — from packet-level plumbing to cloud infrastructure — with a soft spot for simplicity and functional programming.
I'm a software engineer with a background that runs from network research — SDN, OpenFlow, traffic analysis — to cloud infrastructure and data-heavy backend systems.
I started out building business intelligence into collaboration products, spent grad school deep in computer networks at Florida Tech, and have been shipping production systems ever since. The throughline: making complex systems visible, fast, and simple.
Hunting malicious traffic flows in FTP control channels using Weka and Python's dpkt library.
CloudA general approach for hitting OpenStack's REST API when wrapper libraries don't cover what you need.
ProgrammingOn modularity, laziness, and why FP's ideas outlive the hype cycles around it.
Machine LearningA deliberately simple implementation of k-NN classification, built to understand it rather than to ship it.
NetworksFirst steps into complex-network analysis — graphs, motifs, and the structure hiding in real systems.
SecurityA review of Matt Bishop's classic paper on what we actually mean when we say "secure".
