<h2><span class="n">01</span>The Short Version</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>I build cloud-native systems that hold up when the current turns. Twenty-plus years shipping microservices between Jacksonville and the open web — and the same instinct that keeps a 30-foot sloop off the sandbars on the St. Johns keeps my circuit breakers from taking down a whole fleet. Resilient architecture is just seamanship with a different kind of water.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="callout">
|
||
|
|
<strong>Fair-weather patterns don't survive the river.</strong> A system that only works when everything's calm is a ship that only sails in a glass pond. The interesting work — and the interesting sailing — happens in the chop.
