I've spent 10+ years building enterprise systems across healthcare, finance, and tech - at companies like Kaiser Permanente, Wells Fargo, PNC, and Google Pay. My work usually falls into two buckets: building full-stack applications that actually scale, and fixing the DevOps infrastructure underneath them.
On the engineering side, I work across the full stack - React, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and REST APIs. I've built component libraries, microservices, event-driven systems with AWS Lambda and EventBridge, and secure auth flows using OAuth 2.0 and JWT. Both greenfield and legacy codebases.
On the DevOps side, I set up CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps), provision infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible, manage containers with Docker and Kubernetes, and monitor with CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana. I've done this inside HIPAA and SOC 2 environments where compliance isn't optional and incidents have real consequences.
What I'm good at:
• CI/CD pipelines and release automation (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps)
• Cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure - provisioned with Terraform and Ansible
• Full-stack development: React, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, REST APIs
• Docker and Kubernetes - containerization through orchestration
• HIPAA and SOC 2 compliant systems in healthcare and finance
• Serverless architecture with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and EventBridge
• System monitoring with CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana
• Workflow automation with n8n, Python, and event-driven processing
I've worked across banking, healthcare, insurance, ad tech, and eCommerce. If the system is broken, I can diagnose it. If it needs to be built from scratch, I can do that too.

As a CISSP-certified Information Security Manager with deep DevOps and DevSecOps experience, I help organizations secure their systems without slowing delivery. I combine strategic security leadership with hands-on technical execution across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and modern application stacks.
My approach bridges security, engineering, and operations, ensuring security is built into how teams design, deploy, and operate systems—not bolted on later.
