At Elastic he progressed from an early-cloud hire to tech lead for the Platform Traffic team, architecting multi-cloud ingress/egress, PrivateLink integrations, mTLS controls, and network systems in Go and Kubernetes that serve thousands of customers. He combines deep networking and orchestration expertise with infrastructure-as-code and observability practice to build reliable, large-scale platforms.
