I build thequiet machinerybehind intelligentsystems.

GPU sharing, LLM serving and Kubernetes platforms, from a single node to fleets of clusters, engineered so models run fast, GPUs never sit idle and nothing goes dark.

01 · About

Most people meet AI through a chat box. I live one layer down, where tokens become GPU cycles, GPU cycles become heat, and a single misrouted request can idle a rack. My work is making that layer boring in the best way: declarative, observable, self-healing, and secure enough that nobody has to think about it.

12+years building Kubernetes platforms across cloud, hybrid and edge
80+clusters reconciled by Flux CD. Git is the source of truth
900+edge devices on post-quantum encrypted links
02 · Craft

Six layers, one obsession

Making the whole stack, from the GPU die to the API gateway, behave like one calm, observable, self-healing system.

/01 serving

Inference platforms

One control plane for models served through KServe, NVIDIA Dynamo, NIM, vLLM and SGLang. Model-aware routing through Envoy AI Gateway and llm-d, budgets and keys via LiteLLM, GuideLLM benchmarks, and autoscaling that adds replicas before it adds GPUs.

/02dcgm

GPU sharing & visibility

Telling allocated apart from actually computing. DRA with MIG, MPS and time-slicing, Kueue and KAI queues, and NVIDIA and AMD telemetry that catches idle, faulty and oversubscribed GPUs.

/0324/24 ready

Platform engineering

Controllers, CRDs and operators in Go. Multi-cluster networking, tenant isolation and HA storage that heals itself.

/04flux

GitOps everything

Flux CD reconciling 80+ clusters. If it isn't in Git, it doesn't exist.

/05ml-kem-768

Quantum-safe security

Post-quantum key exchange, signatures and certificate lifecycles, automated as Kubernetes-native resources.

/06 wg0 up

Edge & hybrid networks

Encrypted tunnels from 900+ devices behind carrier-grade NAT to private and public clouds. Fleets that stay reachable, observable and patched no matter where they live.

03 · Experience

Twelve years, one direction

From web apps to edge fleets to GPU fleets. The workloads changed; the job of making them run calmly didn't.

How I think

A short operating manual for the systems I build, and the way I build them.

  1. 01

    Declare, don’t click.

    Every cluster, model and secret should be reproducible from a commit. If a human has to remember it, it will be forgotten.

  2. 02

    Measure the real thing.

    Allocated isn’t utilised. Ready isn’t responsive. I chase the metric that tells the truth, not the one that looks good on a dashboard.

  3. 03

    Scale the cheap layer first.

    Replicas before nodes, caches before GPUs, routing before hardware. Efficiency is a design decision, not a cost report.

  4. 04

    Secure for the next decade.

    Harvest-now, decrypt-later is real. Post-quantum crypto belongs in today’s pipelines, not tomorrow’s roadmap.

  5. 05

    Open by default.

    The best infrastructure ideas get sharper in public. Ship it, document it, let others break it.
