Principal Cloud Platform Engineer

Infrastructure/platform engineer, 20 years in. Usually the first infra hire — comfortable inheriting whatever exists and turning it into something production-grade. Most recently built Ginkgo Bioworks' ML model serving platform and multi-tenant GKE infrastructure from scratch (joined via the Reverie Labs acquisition). Before that, was sole infra engineer at Reverie — built their entire AWS platform from the first commit, ran EKS clusters, and supported GPU workloads for computational drug discovery. Looking for early-stage teams solving hard problems in interesting domains. I value a culture of trust, ownership, and room to build.
