Senior DevOps and Platform Engineer

I build cloud platforms that help teams ship faster without sacrificing reliability.

I design and operate AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes environments, Terraform foundations, observability, and CI/CD systems for production teams that need stability, automation, and clean operational ownership.

Confidential employer systems stay private. Public repositories and a downloadable CV are linked below.

About

Reliable systems, clean delivery, and practical platform ownership.

I work at the intersection of infrastructure, automation, and developer productivity. The goal is not to add more tooling. It is to give teams a platform they can trust.

I have worked across infrastructure and platform engineering since 2016, moving from systems support and network administration into cloud engineering and senior DevOps ownership.

That path matters because it keeps my work grounded. I focus on platforms that are reproducible, observable, secure, and easier for teams to operate day to day. Whether I am shaping AWS foundations, Kubernetes delivery, or deployment automation, the goal is the same: reduce operational overhead and make production systems more dependable.

What teams rely on me for

  • Architecting AWS environments for production and staging workloads
  • Standardizing infrastructure with Terraform and Terragrunt
  • Running container platforms on ECS, EKS, and Kubernetes
  • Improving monitoring, alerting, and incident response with CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana
  • Streamlining developer workflows with Docker tooling and CI/CD automation

Production platforms

AWS, ECS, EKS, and stateful services operated with reliability in mind.

Recent and current work spans web3 production and staging environments, reusable infrastructure foundations, and containerized delivery workflows.

Operational leverage

Automation and standards that reduce drag on engineering teams.

The consistent theme across roles is making infrastructure reproducible, deployment flows cleaner, and incident response faster.

Systems depth

A background that starts with hardware and networking, not just pipelines.

Experience across support, networking, bare metal, cloud hosting, and platform engineering gives me an end-to-end view of how systems behave in production.

Experience

Built across cloud platforms, product engineering teams, and infrastructure operations.

Dates follow the current CV and are shown as listed there, including overlapping periods where applicable.
