Architect. Operator.
Systems Thinker.

I'm a Senior Principal Architect at Supermicro, where I focus on AI infrastructure — designing the compute, network, and storage architectures that underpin modern AI factories and GPU clusters.

My career spans Cisco Systems, Broadcom, cloud infrastructure, and data center networking. That foundation gives me a full-stack view: from silicon and protocol design to cluster operations and reference architecture delivery.

I write about what I build and what I observe — tradeoffs, failure modes, operational realities, and the architecture decisions that actually matter at scale. No hype, no marketing.

Currently focused on lossless Ethernet fabrics for RDMA workloads, GPU cluster interconnect design, and the post-quantum cryptography transition — three areas where the engineering choices made today will echo for decades.

Leading AI infrastructure architecture — designing compute, network, and storage architectures for AI factories and GPU clusters at scale. Developing reference architectures for next-generation AI deployments.

Designed data center networking solutions and reference architectures for enterprise and hyperscale environments. Deep expertise in SONiC, BCM ASIC platforms, and lossless fabric design.

End-to-end data center network design, cloud infrastructure architecture, and customer engagement on large-scale enterprise deployments. Specialized in ACI, VXLAN, and BGP-based fabrics.

Built foundational expertise across data center and enterprise networking — routing, switching, security, and the operational discipline that underpins everything since.
