About

I am a software engineer in Google, and spend a fair amount of time working on distributed systems, reliability, performance and security. I tried management in the past but figured out I enjoy building technology more, and try to find difficult problems to solve. I do not wish to trade that off for anything.

I started this blog in 2020 to share what I learn and what happens behind the scenes sometimes… But after one single post on OAuth2, Covid came along and this effort got suspended. It is 2024 as I write this, and I hope to get more time dedicated to writing. This blog is primarily for other engineers.

You will find more cybersecurity related posts because many of the systems I worked on were in the security space: Azure AD, Microsoft OneCare (which became Windows Defender), and a few in between. I now work in Google Cloud Storage but a major part of my time goes into how to secure it (and Google Cloud Platform) against modern threats.
