Technical depth.
Human clarity.

I like untangling hard problems, following evidence, and making the answer understandable to the people who need it.

At Cisco, I work with enterprise customers using ThousandEyes to improve visibility, investigate network and application performance, and get lasting value from their observability stack.

Alongside customer work, I’m building 7LayerX: a practical engineering knowledge platform covering networking, security, observability, cloud, DevOps, Linux, and AI one layer at a time.

Trace the signal.Find the layer.Share what matters.

Make progress visible.
