I am a Senior Cloud Engineer specializing in Platform Engineering and DevSecOps. I focus on building the "paved roads" that allow teams to scale without friction. My work bridges the gap between high-performance infrastructure and developer productivity.

I thrive in high-stakes environments where the cost of failure is high. My professional background includes:

• Election Night Ops: Maintained 100% uptime for AP News and NPR during the 2024 Presidential Election, managing traffic spikes of 1M page views every 5 minutes.
• Global Threat Mitigation: Co-led the response to a 37M RPM botnet attack, implementing real-time edge filtering and multi-layered WAF strategies to protect production origins.
• Scale & Standardization: Expert at managing complex application stacks including Kubernetes (EKS/GKE), Percona, Solr, and Tomcat at enterprise scale.

These projects demonstrate my focus on modernizing infrastructure and reducing operational risk.

• GCP GitOps Lighthouse: A declarative framework using ArgoCD and K3s to establish a single Source of Truth for cluster configurations.
• Hybrid Cloud Failover: A cost-optimized, cross-cloud disaster recovery strategy using Terraform to manage failover between AWS and GCP.
• GKE DevSecOps Pipeline: A "Zero-Key" CI/CD pipeline leveraging Workload Identity Federation (WIF) to eliminate the risk of credential leakage.
