I build cloud systems that stay reliable.

01 / About

Production ownership, end to end.

For more than eight years, I’ve designed, automated, and operated cloud platforms where availability, delivery speed, and security all matter.

I’ve owned mission-critical AWS infrastructure, built reusable Terraform and Terragrunt foundations, improved CI/CD systems, and supported container platforms across ECS, Fargate, and EKS.

I combine deep technical execution with calm operational leadership: troubleshooting across the stack, mentoring engineers, and turning complex platform problems into repeatable systems.
