About Me
Background
I build and operate cloud platforms that keep teams shipping fast without sacrificing safety. My path into software started with full-stack work and data automation, which naturally pulled me toward infrastructure, reliability, and the tooling that removes friction for developers.
Over the past few years I have supported healthcare and large-scale financial systems, gradually specializing in AWS, Terraform, and policy-as-code. I enjoy taking complex platform challenges and translating them into repeatable patterns that developers can use with confidence.
Recent Work
At Qualexa Healthcare I am integrating Terraform into every AWS application and cleaning up the cloud baseline so clinical teams launch services with strong guardrails. Before that, I spent three years at Capital One working on One Pipeline, the internal AWS deployment suite that powered most of the company. I guided teams toward AWS Fargate, authored OPA/Rego policies that reduced deployment failures, and handled hundreds of support threads to keep infrastructure reliable.
Earlier, as a contract engineer, I shipped features around tagging and cryptographic signing for compliance, built a reference application deployed via Jenkins, and resolved critical issues across ECS, EC2, ALB, and Route53 stacks. I originally broke into the industry at Perlogix, delivering a React-based patient insights dashboard and automating data workflows that saved hundreds of hours of manual effort.
What Drives Me
I like making infrastructure feel boring in the best way: predictable pipelines, thoughtful policy guardrails, clear documentation, and a feedback loop that keeps developers unblocked. My favorite problems sit at the intersection of reliability, security, and velocity - whether that is codifying AWS patterns with Terraform, writing Rego to prevent bad deploys, or coaching teams through migrations.
Collaboration matters to me. I regularly share knowledge through docs, office hours, and pairing sessions because platform engineering succeeds when developers feel supported and empowered.
Currently
I am deepening my Terraform and policy-as-code patterns for healthcare workloads, refining AWS Fargate playbooks, and experimenting with ways to make platform guardrails more discoverable for developers. If you need help reducing deployment risk while keeping delivery speed, let us talk.
