Software architect and engineering lead with over 15 years of experience. Specialize in enterprise service architecture and design within the healthcare domain.

I’m not gonna dazzle you in a technical interview anymore. Those days are behind me. I used to recite buzzwords. Now I’m the guy who’s actually been in the trenches for over 20 years. I show up, listen, cut through the noise, use every tool available (AI included), and leave your project in a much better state than I found it. No theater, no ego, no pretending I have the entire React source code memorized or an expert with every tool known to man. I’m not the flashiest voice on the call, but I’m the one who quietly gets things done. If you want the thing built carefully, fixed properly, securely, automated and shipped with real production quality while your competitors are still talking about it, send me the details. 🔒 Security & compliance I will audit your AWS security posture, automate your compliance controls, and get you audit-ready. FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST. I've done this at scale. ☁️ Infrastructure & cost I will clean up your AWS mess, consolidate your codebase, and cut your monthly bill. 🔧 DevOps & platform engineering I will build your CI/CD pipeline, containerize your apps, and give your team a deployment process they actually trust. 💻 Full stack I write the application code too. When your infrastructure engineer can also fix the API that's causing the outage, problems get solved faster. 📊 Data & ETL I will build your data pipelines, automate your integrations, and make sure your data gets where it needs to go without babysitting. 💰 FinOps I will find where your AWS bill is bleeding and stop it. Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, right-sizing, storage tiering, Graviton migrations. If you're overpaying, I'll show you exactly where and fix it. 🧑‍💼 Team leadership I will listen to your team, understand the competing priorities, and give them patterns and practices they can use long after I'm gone. No ivory tower recommendations. Stuff that actually sticks. 🤝 How I work Async by default. I send updates before you have to ask. ⭐ Credentials AWS Certified Security Specialty.

I help startups and SMBs build secure, compliant cloud infrastructure without the cost of a full-time CTO or CISO. 15+ years of cloud architecture and security engineering experience across companies like Cisco, General Mills, Home Depot, Collins Aerospace, and other Fortune 500 environments. AWS Certified Solutions Architect. CISSP in progress. I specialize in startups operating in regulated environments: CJIS, FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA, and CMMC. If you need compliance built into your infrastructure from day one rather than bolted on later, that's exactly what I do. How I typically work with startup clients: Embedded as a fractional technical leader, 10-20 hours per week. I join your Slack, attend standups when needed, and own your infrastructure decisions. Minimum 3-month engagement. Recent example: I serve as fractional Lead DevOps Engineer for a CJIS-regulated GovTech startup, where I designed and built their AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and compliance controls from the ground up. What I do for clients: - AWS and Azure cloud architecture design and implementation - Infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation) - CI/CD pipeline setup (GitHub Actions, GitLab) - Security controls and compliance implementation - Network design (VPC, subnets, security groups, IAM) - Monitoring, alerting, and incident response - Architecture decision-making and team mentorship I also offer one-time engagements: - Cloud Infrastructure Buildout: I design and build your entire cloud environment from scratch in 4-8 weeks - Architecture Review: 2-week deep review of your existing infrastructure with a prioritized 90-day remediation plan Tools I work with daily: AWS, Azure, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, n8n, Cloudflare, Linux/Ubuntu. If your startup is building in a space where security and compliance matter, let's talk. I'm selective about engagements and only take on work where I can deliver real value.
