About
From help desk to Multi-Cloud Engineer through deliberate practice — treating learning as a continuous discipline, not a phase.
After leaving law school, I redirected toward software engineering and cloud infrastructure. My work emphasizes reliability, reproducibility, and operational awareness across the software development lifecycle.
Currently at Snorkel AI as a DevOps Engineer, running DevSecOps pipelines, Kubernetes blue-green deployments on AKS, and event-driven AWS remediation. Independently building Azure FinOps tooling, production monitoring, and Zero Trust identity infrastructure.
Work
NOW
- Integrated Bandit, Trivy, OWASP ZAP, and Checkov into a unified GitHub Actions DevSecOps pipeline with policy-violation build gates, reducing bad build promotion by 90%.
- Deployed Kubernetes blue-green rollouts on AKS with kubectl traffic switching and readiness-probe-gated rollbacks, eliminating downtime and cutting deployment failures by ~70%.
- Automated EC2 recovery using Lambda, EventBridge, and CloudWatch metric alarms with Boto3 remediation on latency degradation, cutting MTTR by ~40% with zero on-call engagement.
NOW
- Engineered a cost-visibility platform using Azure Functions (C# .NET 8), Cosmos DB, and Terraform with z-score anomaly detection and 14-day regression forecasting, flagging spend anomalies before billing periods closed.
- Configured production monitoring using Lambda (Python 3.13), EventBridge, and CloudWatch custom metrics (IsHealthy, LatencyMs, SSLDaysRemaining) with 5-minute intervals and dual-threshold alarms, detecting outages before users reported them.
- Enforced VNet segmentation, NSG allow-list rules, and Key Vault RBAC across a multi-VM Azure environment using Terraform, limiting lateral movement risk on any compromised workload.
2025
- Executed a cloud rehosting migration from AWS to Azure with full service dependency mapping.
- Provisioned and rightsized Azure infrastructure with IaC, maintaining 99%+ uptime post-migration.
- Engineered Python & Bash scripts for Entra ID auth remediation — resolution time down ~50%.
2024
- Standardized diagnostic runbooks, reducing complex incident resolution time by ~30% and streamlining Tier-2 handoffs.
- Resolved 40+ monthly MFA and authentication incidents while maintaining high first-contact resolution rates.
