I’m a Linux-first DevOps/SRE and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 8+ years designing, automating, and operating secure, highly available platforms on AWS, Azure, and VMware. I enjoy eliminating toil through automation, enforcing least-privilege and CIS-aligned hardening, and delivering rapid, safer releases. I thrive in cross-functional environments where I can architect scalable observability and resilient platforms while partnering with security and engineering teams to achieve enterprise-grade reliability. In my spare time, I stay hands-on with the latest cloud-native tooling and contribute to blue/green and canary deployment patterns, ensuring HIPAA, FISMA, and SOC 2 readiness with minimal disruption during upgrades.
