HOW I BUILD

Infrastructure that is version-controlled, observable and repeatable.

I treat infrastructure like software: define it in code, review it, automate delivery and monitor the result.

ABOUT ME

Engineering cloud infrastructure with clarity and purpose.

I design, automate and support AWS infrastructure with a strong focus on security, reliability, cost awareness and maintainability.

My experience spans cloud networking, identity and access management, monitoring, high availability, disaster recovery and CI/CD automation. I enjoy translating business requirements into practical cloud solutions that are well documented and easy for teams to operate.

My biggest asset is perspective most engineers don't have: more than ten years across operations, finance and technology before I moved into the cloud. I connect infrastructure decisions to real business impact, communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders, and take ownership of a problem from first requirement to running, monitored system.
