About Me
A more personal note about my engineering background, how I think about platform work, and the outdoor things that keep me grounded.
I am a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer focused on AWS platform architecture, production Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and cloud networking. Most of my recent work sits at the intersection of infrastructure architecture and real operational ownership: making systems private, repeatable, observable, and usable by engineering teams.
My strongest area is enterprise AWS platform and networking architecture. I have worked with multi-account environments, PrivateLink, Direct Connect, Route53 private DNS, cross-account IAM and STS patterns, EKS, Istio, GitLab CI/CD, Terraform modules, and regulated SaaS infrastructure.
How I Work
I like infrastructure that is boring in production and clear in code. The best platform work, to me, gives teams strong defaults without hiding the architecture. A good Terraform module, DNS pattern, or deployment workflow should reduce cognitive load while still making the important boundaries visible.
I also care a lot about reliability language. Incident response, observability, access paths, rollback plans, and operational runbooks are not side quests; they are part of the architecture.
Outside the Terminal
Away from work, I like the wilder side of things: fishing, hiking, camping, and being outdoors. That kind of time helps balance the very abstract work of cloud systems with something physical, quiet, and real.
There is a similar mindset in both places: read the environment, prepare well, respect constraints, and stay calm when conditions change.
