    Platform &#x2F; DevOps &#x2F; SRE engineer with 3+ years of experience owning production infrastructure in startup teams.

    I am useful when a team needs someone to take messy infrastructure, deployment, cost, observability, or reliability problems and make them boring.

    Recent proof: At RestoreAI, I own cloud infrastructure for an AI product across dev, staging, prod, and preview. Recently reduced dev&#x2F;staging AWS spend from about $700&#x2F;day to $200&#x2F;day by rightsizing GPU workloads and removing stale Kubernetes&#x2F;ECS resources.

    At GlueX Protocol, I worked on production blockchain&#x2F;RPC and data infrastructure across multiple EVM chains. Reduced AWS cost by 45%, improved API latency from around 2s to under 250ms, and built observability with Prometheus&#x2F;Grafana&#x2F;Loki.

    Projects: ShipCheck: deployment readiness checker for live web apps. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;shipcheck.krissemmy.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;shipcheck.krissemmy.com&#x2F;

    KraiNode: RPC diagnostics and benchmarking tool used by 450+ engineers. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;krainode.krissemmy.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;krainode.krissemmy.com&#x2F;

    Best fit: platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, cloud infrastructure, AI infrastructure, data infrastructure, production reliability, technical operations, or infrastructure-heavy support engineering.
