Baremetal infrastructure architect at Red Hat, specializing in OpenShift deployments, Kubernetes storage solutions, and GitOps automation. Building resilient, scalable infrastructure from the metal up.
I'm an OpenShift Infrastructure Baremetal Architect at Red Hat, based in Minneapolis. My work spans the full stack of infrastructure: from PXE booting bare metal servers to deploying and managing production OpenShift clusters.
I specialize in disconnected/air-gapped environments, storage architecture (ODF, CSI drivers, NooBaa), network configuration, and GitOps automation. I build tools and documentation that help teams deploy and operate complex infrastructure reliably.
When I'm not architecting clusters, I'm exploring LLM serving on consumer hardware and contributing to open source infrastructure tools.

Community recipes for serving LLMs on RTX 3090 hardware. Multi-engine support (vLLM, llama.cpp, SGLang) with model-agnostic configs. Currently shipping Qwen3.6-27B.
Designing and deploying OpenShift bare metal infrastructure at scale. Leading disconnected cluster deployments, storage architecture (ODF, CSI), network configuration, and GitOps automation. Building tools and playbooks that enable reliable infrastructure operations.
Author of 28 repositories covering OpenShift deployment, storage diagnostics, PXE boot configuration, TLS automation, and LLM serving. Active contributor with 3x Pull Shark badge and multiple upstream contributions.
