I’m a Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 7+ years of experience who enjoys building, automating, and improving the systems behind modern applications. At CentralSquare Technologies — a GovTech company providing software solutions for public safety and public-sector organizations — I work as a Cloud Engineer, helping build and maintain the cloud infrastructure that supports critical applications and services. I collaborate with engineering teams to streamline and improve deployment processes, automate repetitive operational tasks, troubleshoot infrastructure challenges, and make environments more reliable, scalable, and easier to manage. I like turning “this takes forever” into “it’s automated.” Always learning. Always experimenting. Occasionally breaking things in a controlled environment. Breaking things is part of learning — fixing them is part of the job. Currently exploring opportunities across Canada in Cloud Engineering, DevOps, SRE, and Platform/Infrastructure Engineering, where I can solve meaningful infrastructure challenges and continue growing.…I’m a Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 7+ years of experience who enjoys building, automating, and improving the systems behind modern applications.
