I am a Senior Cloud Engineer and Technical Lead with over a decade of experience designing secure, scalable, and cost-efficient infrastructure in AWS. I specialize in Kubernetes (EKS, OpenShift), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CDK), and building fully automated DevOps pipelines using GitLab CI/CD, CodePipeline, and Helm. My background spans both commercial and federal environments, with a strong focus on compliance (FedRAMP, FISMA), cost optimization, and observability at scale. On the cloud side, I’ve architected end-to-end solutions involving multi-account AWS org setups, IAM best practices, Karpenter node scaling, and cross-region disaster recovery. I also build data platforms and RESTful APIs optimized for performance, security, and scalability — using Python, .NET Core, and Node.js. In addition to infrastructure, I bring expertise in cloud-native AI/ML pipelines. I’ve implemented automated training and deployment workflows using SageMaker, Lambda, Step Functions, and containerized inference endpoints. I help clients deploy real-time or batch AI models in production environments with built-in versioning, monitoring, and cost governance. If you’re dealing with large datasets or edge deployments, I can also help optimize your compute and storage footprint while maintaining inference speed. Other areas I support: • Cost tracking & billing visibility using Datadog, Prometheus, and MongoDB • Secure container builds with Docker, ECR, and SBOM generation • Row-Level Security for dashboards (e.g., Amazon QuickSight) • Kubernetes job scheduling for ML tasks and reports • Monitoring EFS usage and tagging AWS resources for per-user reporting Whether you need a hands-on engineer or someone who can lead teams and shape technical direction, I can help turn your vision into a production-ready, secure, and maintainable system. I’m comfortable taking ownership from design to delivery — and supporting post-deployment as needed. Let’s solve your toughest infrastructure and AI challenges — securely and at scale.
