about me

Hi, I'm Michael, a software engineer *currently* living in Nigeria.

I have intermittent interests in a bunch of stuff like:

• Running (five marathons and counting :))
• Software-Defined Radio and fun frequencies
• Sci-Fi books (and all things Red Rising!)

About programming, my current interests are in scaling software systems, databases (internals and observability) and the challengesfun of distributed systems.

These days, I am helping build Bayse Markets (fka Gowagr).

Previously, I have also:

• Helped organizations monitor their databases at Percona
• Worked on on-disk histogram formats in MariaDB
• Contributed to remote object storage in Thanos
• Built backend systems at Heroshe and Grey Finance

Occasionally, I write out my thoughts, and share the things I learn on my personal blog.
