About

I'm a cloud engineer who enjoys solving complex infrastructure problems. Over the past 4+ years, I've worked across the full stack — building user-facing applications with React and Python, and owning the infrastructure those apps run on with AWS, OCI, and Terraform. At Vigelent I built a full IoT security platform from scratch, connecting physical devices to the cloud through AWS IoT Core, AppSync, and DynamoDB. At Oracle I've scaled that experience to enterprise environments, managing production systems and leading teams through complex deployments. I do my best work in environments where infrastructure reliability matters and there are real constraints to work within.
