Bio

I’m a Platform Engineer with 4.5+ years of experience building secure, scalable infrastructure and developer-centric platforms across AWS and Azure. I specialize in Kubernetes-native tooling, GitOps workflows, and DevSecOps automation—empowering engineering teams with self-service capabilities and hardened pipelines. At Bank of America and Blucom Technologies, I led initiatives that modernized CI/CD with GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, and SOPS; containerized legacy Java workloads; and scaled Kubernetes platforms for 250+ microservices. I’ve designed reusable Terraform modules, built FastAPI-based portals, and developed compliance automation that passed audits (SOC 2, OSFI B-13). I write software in Python, Java, and TypeScript to solve infrastructure and security challenges at scale. I'm also the creator of azuresimplified.com, a platform to share cloud-native best practices with engineers worldwide. Driven by clarity, ownership, and empathy, I bring together platform engineering, security, and developer experience to deliver production-grade systems that just work.
