I help teams build secure, scalable cloud platforms and reduce delivery friction with automation.

Cloud Infrastructure
#

I design and operate cloud environments with a focus on reliability, cost awareness, and security. Most of my recent work is in AWS, with Azure experience where it adds value.

DevOps & Platform Engineering
#

I build internal platform capabilities that help application teams ship faster and more safely, including:

  • reusable infrastructure modules
  • standardized deployment paths
  • safer defaults for new services
  • better operational visibility

Automation & Delivery
#

Automation is one of the highest-leverage tools in engineering. I use it to reduce friction in both delivery and operations through CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and focused operational tooling.

Common tools and patterns:

  • Terraform and CloudFormation
  • GitHub and GitLab workflows
  • Jenkins and GitHub Actions
  • Docker and ECS/Fargate

Networking & Security Mindset
#

My networking background strongly shapes how I approach cloud design: connectivity, segmentation, access controls, and secure operations from day one.

Leadership
#

I’ve led in both IC and leadership capacities, with a focus on:

  • mentoring and growing engineers
  • delivering across teams and org boundaries
  • building systems teams can sustain long term
