Antigravity
Removing operational drag from the software delivery loop.
Antigravity is the internal platform engineering philosophy I apply to eliminate operational drag — the accumulated friction from manual processes, undocumented tribal knowledge, and tooling that was never designed to scale.
The patterns I keep running into: CI pipelines that fail non-deterministically, environment setup that lives in someone's head, incident runbooks that are either missing or stale, and onboarding flows that rely on shadowing the one person who knows how things work. Antigravity is how I address that systematically — golden-path service templates that encode the right defaults, runbooks written as executable automation rather than prose, and lightweight self-service tooling so the answer to most operational questions isn't a Slack message.
Friction Mapping
Walk every part of the software delivery loop — local setup, CI, deploy, incident response — and identify where time actually gets lost. The output is a prioritized list of high-leverage interventions, not a roadmap deck.
Golden Path Templates
Service templates, Makefiles, and scaffolding CLIs that encode the right defaults for the stack in use. New services start correctly rather than drifting from convention over time.
Self-Service Internal Tooling
A lightweight portal or CLI layer — Backstage where it fits, custom tooling where it doesn't — so environment info, runbooks, and service ownership are discoverable without interrupting anyone.
Scaling Engineering Orgs
Informal knowledge sharing works until it doesn't. Past a certain headcount, the absence of documented golden paths becomes a compounding tax on every new hire and every new service.
Reducing On-Call Burden
Most repeated pages trace back to the same handful of failure modes. Automated runbooks and self-healing checks address those at the source rather than relying on manual escalation each time.
Onboarding Acceleration
Getting to a first production deploy in the first week is a reasonable baseline. It's mainly a function of how much setup is automated versus left to tribal knowledge.
Let's talk Antigravity.
No pitch. Just a technical conversation about the problem you're working on.
