- Leading developer relations at Workers IO, a YC F26 startup. A founder reached out after seeing Breakscale, and the offer came 10 days after the repo went up. I never applied.
- Writing technical posts on system design, deterministic simulation testing and post-mortems of classic distributed systems failures, published under my own byline.
- Building tools and extending Breakscale to show engineers how simulation testing changes software reliability, rather than just describing it.
