I’m a backend software developer in Ottawa, Canada. Currently working on Mission Control Mission Control and Solace Agent Mesh. I’ve been working full time since May, 2023.
I enjoy building useful software, that solves real problems and improves the efficiency of society. I build systems that are reliable, composable, high quality, and easy to operate.
I work at Solace on Mission Control, a management platform for deploying and operating event brokers and event meshes. Automating the full broker management lifecycle, creation, changing configurations, and deletion for customers at scale.
I’m also temporarily contributing to Solace Agent Mesh Enterprise. Solace Agent Mesh Enterprise is a no-code agent builder for solace-agent-mesh.
