About

Cloud Engineer with 13+ years of experience spanning the full spectrum of modern software delivery — from architecting secure, scalable cloud infrastructure to building the full stack applications that run on top of it. I've designed and shipped production systems across finance, government, entertainment, and SaaS: Kubernetes platforms on EKS with Karpenter auto-scaling, generative AI products on AWS with PrivateLink-hardened networking, event-driven serverless backends, retail banking React applications, and CI/CD pipelines that eliminated manual deployments across 8+ projects. AWS and Kubernetes certified (DevOps Engineer Pofessional, AI Practitioner, Solutions Architect, Developer, CKAD), I bring both the infrastructure depth to design multi-account cloud architectures and the software engineering breadth to own features end-to-end — writing the TypeScript, Python, or Go that runs on the platform I built.

I take ownership seriously, move from proof-of-concept to organizational rollout, mentor cross-functional teams, and translate complex technical decisions into clear business value. Whether the problem is a misconfigured Kubernetes node, a security gap in the cloud perimeter, or a product feature that needs to ship — I'm comfortable owning it from first principles to production.
