Hi, I'm Mike 👋

I'm a Staff Technical Engagement Engineer at Crusoe — Crusoe Cloud is purpose-built for compute-intensive AI workloads. My work sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, developer experience, and technical storytelling.

Previously at loft-sh, I led technical marketing for vCluster and contributed across the CNCF ecosystem — demos, tutorials, blog content, and video for Knative, DevPod, and DevSpace.
