About the author

Twenty years making critical technology services more stable, resilient and measurable.

I lead complex production operations in regulated banking environments, combining service management discipline with engineering, observability, automation and executive governance. Operational Resilience Studio turns those methods into practical decision tools and reusable operating frameworks.
