Engineer
About
I build cloud platforms and the automation around them: AWS and Azure infrastructure, security tooling, and AI-integrated systems, all defined as code. My work emphasizes reliability, reproducibility, and operational awareness across the software development lifecycle.
Every project here was deployed against real cloud accounts, demonstrated live, and torn down clean, with the receipts written up. The case studies cover the architecture decisions, the trade-offs, and the bugs that only show up in production.
Focus
Cloud Foundations & Governance
Multi-account and multi-subscription foundations built in Terraform: OU and management group hierarchies, SCP and Azure Policy guardrails, hub-spoke networking, account vending, and centralized audit logging.
FinOps & Cost Engineering
Cost visibility built as software on both clouds: anomaly detection against rolling baselines, spend forecasting, tagging compliance for attribution, and scale-to-zero patterns that keep idle cost near nothing.
Resilience & Incident Response
Systems that answer failure without a human in the hot path: cross-region failover with automated database promotion, alarm-driven remediation, and AI-assisted incident runbooks, all verified against live cloud breakage.
Platform & DevSecOps
Paved roads on Kubernetes across both clouds: GitOps reconciliation, self-service infrastructure APIs, admission policy, and CI/CD pipelines gated on SAST, container scanning, and DAST before anything deploys.
Data Platform Engineering
The storage, catalog, transformation, and governance layers data teams build on: serverless lakehouses and medallion architecture across both clouds, dbt analytics engineering with data-quality test gates, and columnar Parquet that cuts query scan cost, all in Terraform with keyless, least-privilege access.
