Hi, I’m Ken
I keep payment systems operational in the cloud — the kind where downtime means someone’s rent check bounces. I’ve spent years helping financial services companies not destroy themselves with their own infrastructure decisions.
I write here about cloud architecture, the horrors of distributed systems, and hard-won lessons from incidents I’d rather forget. If you’ve ever stared at a CloudWatch dashboard at 2 AM wondering where your life went wrong, this blog is for you.
Everything here is my own opinion. My employer has better ones.
