Hi, I'm James — a Computer Science student at Minerva University and an aspiring production / site reliability engineer. I'm currently a Production Engineering Fellow with Meta and Major League Hacking, and an open-source contributor to Red Hat's Konflux project through Google Summer of Code.
I love building reliable, observable systems — CI/CD pipelines, containerized services, and distributed-systems tooling — and tracing tricky production failures down to their root cause.
Konflux (Red Hat) · Remote
Authored a reproducible-build architecture (ADR-0069, under Red Hat review) to stop tampered builds from shipping — wiring an opt-in buildah flag through every docker-build Tekton variant plus a digest-comparison verification pipeline.
Meta & Major League Hacking · Remote
Containerizing and deploying a Flask service with Docker on a Linux VPS through a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline, instrumented with Prometheus and Grafana for metrics, dashboards, and alerting under Meta Production Engineer mentorship.
UL Solutions · Fremont, CA
Debugged firmware-flashing pipelines across 30+ IoT variants in Linux-based RF/EMC test environments to raise throughput by 20%, and flagged an emissions violation that prevented a federal compliance issue.
Minerva University · San Francisco, CA
GPA 3.6/4.0. Coursework: Data Structures & Algorithms, Probability & Statistics, Statistical Modeling, and Linear Algebra.
From running to chess, here's what I get up to outside of work.
