Hire the Best Cloud Foundry Specialists
in the United States

I'm a Senior Software Engineer who excels at building complex microservices, APIs, and full-stack solutions, backed by strong AWS infrastructure knowledge and JavaScript expertise. I thrive on crafting code and making things work. My strengths include transforming troubled codebases into stable systems, delivering quality results and knowledge-sharing across the product lifecycle, and advancing my skills in creative coding and machine learning. Proficient in Node.js, TypeScript, Vue.js, AWS, .NET, Windows and MacOS, I bridge the gap between technical and business needs, managing feature development comprehensively from initial concept through successful deployment.

Google-Grade Reliability for Your Cloud Infrastructure. GCP 10x Certified, AWS 1x Certified, Databricks 1X certified Senior Infrastructure Architect and former Google SRE (11 years) and Oracle Engineer with over 25 years of experience managing global-scale production environments. If you are looking for a "pair of hands" to write scripts, there are many options. If you are looking for an Owner-Architect to design, secure, and scale your business-critical infrastructure with zero-risk execution, let’s talk. With 10x GCP Professional Certifications, I specialize in taking complex, high-traffic ecosystems and making them resilient, cost-effective, and simple to manage. Expertise Across the Stack: Cloud Architecture: Expert-level design and migration across GCP, AWS, and Hybrid Cloud. DevOps & SRE: Implementing "True SRE" principles—SLOs, error budgets, and automated toil reduction. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Building reproducible, version-controlled environments using Terraform, Helm, Ansible, and Packer. Kubernetes & Orchestration: Deep experience with GKE, EKS, and self-managed clusters (Rancher). Security & Compliance: Hardening infrastructure via VPC Service Controls, Zero-Trust IAM, and automated security pipelines. CI/CD Optimization: Streamlining delivery via Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Google Cloud Build. Why Work With Me? The "Google" Standard: I apply the same rigor and reliability standards I used at Google to your infrastructure, ensuring 99.9% availability. Cost Efficiency: I specialize in cloud cost optimization, often saving my clients more in monthly cloud spend than the cost of my engagement. Simplicity at Scale: I believe the best architecture is the simplest one that solves the problem. I build systems that your team can actually maintain. Technical Proficiencies: Linux: 20+ years of deep systems-level expertise (RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu). Automation: Puppet, Ansible, Terraform. CI/CD: Jenkins, Artifactory, GitHub, Cloud Build. Containers: Docker, Kubernetes, Container Registry.

I build and run Production Infrastructure on AWS, GCP, Azure and on-prem. Most of my work the last few years has been Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, and bare metal RKE2 with Rancher) and getting that infrastructure through compliance audits: HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53. 10+ years in DevOps. Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success. 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙖 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙤: Built an on-prem RKE2 cluster from scratch for a company preparing for SOC 2 and HIPAA. Rancher for management, Cilium with WireGuard for encrypted pod traffic, GPU nodes for their ML workloads, Longhorn for storage, Velero for backups, ArgoCD for deployments. Also enforced SSO through Entra ID on every cluster and SSH access point because their auditors required it. Took a healthcare data platform through HIPAA hardening on AWS. ECS Fargate, Aurora PostgreSQL, private subnets, TLS everywhere, proper secrets handling. Phase one was making it work, phase two was making it pass an audit. Different skill sets, I do both. Modernized AWS infrastructure for a holding group running four brands. Moved everything to ECS Fargate and Aurora Multi-AZ, set up blue-green deployments, CloudFront in front. Midway through we found a security breach in their GitHub org and I handled the full remediation across every repo. Fixed a production Aurora MySQL performance problem that had their app timing out during peak hours. Root cause was tmp table spill to disk. Tuned it, added a reader, no downtime. I also do a lot of unglamorous work that keeps things running: CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD), Terraform for everything, monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, cost cleanup, VPN and networking issues, database migrations. Industries I know well: Healthcare (HIPAA is second nature at this point), Fintech and Payments (PCI DSS), and B2B SaaS. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚: Infrastructure that is written down in code, documented, and reproducible. I answer messages fast and I will tell you upfront if something is a bad idea or if I am not the right person for it. Send me your project details and current setup. I will give you an honest read on scope and effort before you spend anything.

If you need cloud infrastructure built, deployments automated, integrations shipped, or an environment locked down — and you need it done properly, not just planned — that's where I come in. 20 years of real engineering across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I've built things that are still running in production at NielsenIQ, Verizon, Seacoast Bank, and Data443. Not advisory work. Actual delivered infrastructure. What I build: Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps: - AWS and Azure infrastructure (VPCs, AKS, EKS, networking, IAM, hybrid connectivity, VPN gateways) - Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates — from scratch or migration - CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions, containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes) - Serverless: Lambda, Azure Functions, API Gateway, event-driven architectures - Multi-cloud design, cost optimization, cloud migration Security and Compliance: - Microsoft Sentinel, SIEM buildouts, KQL detection rules, SOAR playbooks - Zero Trust architecture: Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM, MFA enforcement - AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, IAM hardening, compliance baselines - SOC2, HIPAA, NIST, CMMC — implementation, not just gap analysis Integrations and Automation: - REST API integrations, custom connectors, middleware (Node.js, Python) - M365, Defender, Purview, Intune management and automation at scale - GCP services, multi-cloud patterns, SaaS integrations At NielsenIQ I saved $750K/year on security tooling and shipped two production Sentinel connectors now live in Microsoft's Content Hub. At Verizon and Seacoast Bank I designed Zero Trust architectures that are still running today. At Data443 I built AWS marketplace connectors that integrate with CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Cyren threat intelligence pipelines serving 500+ clients. I work US hours, communicate clearly, and I actually show up. Tampa, FL. Certs: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure Security Engineer, AWS SA Pro, AWS Security Specialty, MCSE+Security
