About
Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps Discipline, Trusted Security
I build audit-ready platforms and partner with teams to move fast without breaking policy.
Let's ConnectMission
I design, implement, and sustain secure, automated cloud and data platforms for organizations that measure success in uptime, auditability, and cost control. Over eight years in software engineering and DevOps, I have taken ambiguous mandates like “modernize our pipeline,” “stabilize this ML workflow,” or “get our cloud bill under control” and turned them into documented, repeatable solutions aligned with scope, schedule, and budget. My work spans AWS, Azure, and GCP, with a consistent focus on Infrastructure as Code, observability, and governance.
Core Expertise
My operating model is simple: standardize, automate, instrument. I reduce tribal knowledge by writing the runbooks, diagrams, and dashboards that keep operations scalable and auditable. I design for transparency so cost, performance, and reliability data are visible to stakeholders rather than buried in logs or hidden in a single engineer’s head. I work within the realities of compliance frameworks such as NIST RMF, basic CMMC readiness, and ISO 9001 style process controls, and I ensure engineering practices can stand up to contractual and regulatory scrutiny.
Cloud Platforms
AWS, Azure, and GCP environments built with security, automation, and cost governance in mind.
CI/CD & Automation
Pipeline design and Terraform-based infrastructure that shorten delivery cycles.
Observability & Governance
Dashboards and audit-ready processes that make risk and spend visible.
MLOps Workflows
Secure ingestion and personalization pipelines using tools like Whisper and scikit-learn.
Key Achievements
- Built CI/CD platforms and Terraform-based environments that cut deployment cycles by more than half.
- Implemented governance and cost visibility measures that reduced cloud spend by roughly one third.
- Deployed ML ingestion and personalization pipelines with tools like Whisper and scikit-learn while meeting security and audit requirements.
Communication Style
Communication is part of the deliverable. I translate technical risk into executive language, align engineering tasks with mission outcomes, and keep progress measurable. Whether the work is under a fixed fee statement of work, an IDIQ call, or a rapid task order, I keep documentation current so contract teams and technical teams stay synchronized.
- Executive summaries
- Architecture diagrams
- SLA compliance reports
- Stakeholder dashboards
These outputs cut through complexity and speed up decision-making by giving each audience a clear, actionable snapshot.
Looking Ahead
I am pursuing roles where I own the platform layer and can continue to lead through both architecture and execution. Titles that fit include Engineering Manager, Platform Lead, DevOps or MLOps Lead. Remote or DC-area hybrid works. Contract-to-hire is acceptable. If you need a practitioner who delivers stable infrastructure, reduces spend, and produces artifacts that survive audits and weekends, I am ready to engage.
