Published author of Learning Ceph, Second Edition. Versatile ops leader and devops engineer with talents that include sysadmin, documentation, infrastructure, architecture, automation, budgeting, capacity management, SRE, datacenter ops, and vendor liaison, I engage the Ceph software defined storage platform deeply, optimizing architecture and operations. This includes upstream contributions to the Ceph and smartmontools projects as well as architecture and optimization of the full stack from deployment through maintenance, upgrades, expansion, and refreshes. I have passion for clear, complete, and effective documentation. Time and again I've transformed a loose set of incomplete and outdated documents and tribal knowledge into a comprehensive resource enabling operational excellence. I identify multiple pervasive and impactful component firmware defects, engaging vendors for resolution while implementing operational mitigation and remediation to minimize service impact. Prometheus Grafana Node_exporter SSD rightsizing Server hardware component selection Server management I can show you how HDDs are in fact NOT less expensive and why RAID HBAs are a bad idea.

10+ years building and operating production AWS infrastructure — from zero-downtime migrations to self-healing Kubernetes clusters that teams stop worrying about at 2 AM. I specialize in AWS DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering for companies that need their cloud infrastructure to be fast, cost-efficient, and genuinely reliable. Whether you need a Terraform-managed environment built from scratch, an on-prem workload migrated to AWS, or an SRE practice that actually reduces incidents — I've done all of it, across multiple industries. What I can deliver for you: ✦ Infrastructure as Code — Production-grade Terraform modules, reusable across environments (dev/staging/prod), with full state management, remote backends, and drift detection built in. ✦ Kubernetes & EKS — Cluster design, autoscaling, Helm chart management, GitOps with ArgoCD/Flux, and cost optimization. I set up clusters that developers love deploying to. ✦ CI/CD Pipelines — End-to-end automation using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or AWS CodePipeline. Zero-downtime blue/green and canary releases. Pipelines that run in minutes, not hours. ✦ AWS Migration — Full lifecycle on-premise to AWS migrations: assessment, architecture, phased execution, and cutover with minimal downtime. Done this for monoliths and microservices alike. ✦ Monitoring & Observability — CloudWatch dashboards, Grafana/Prometheus stacks, Datadog APM, alerting that pages the right person at the right threshold — not noise. My approach on every engagement: I treat your infrastructure as if I'm on-call for it. That means documentation that your team can follow, runbooks for common failure scenarios, and no black-box setups that only I understand. When the contract ends, your team owns it. Open to: → Short-term projects (audits, migrations, pipeline builds) → Long-term retainers (ongoing SRE support, on-call backup, platform ownership) Tools & stack: AWS (EC2, EKS, ECS, RDS, S3, Lambda, CloudFront, VPC, IAM, Route53, CloudWatch) · Terraform · Kubernetes · Docker · Helm · ArgoCD · Jenkins · GitHub Actions · Prometheus · Grafana · Datadog · Ansible · Python · Bash · Linux If you're evaluating engineers for an AWS or DevOps role, let's talk. I respond within a few hours and offer a free 15-minute scoping call to make sure we're the right fit before either of us commits.

Most recently owned monitoring and observability at Zapier and US Payments reliability at TikTok, where I cut P0 alarms 50% in 8 weeks across 250+ microservices. Earlier helped scale SAP's cloud footprint from 200 to 10,000 accounts across all lines of business. What I specialize in: → AI infrastructure and agentic system reliability — Claude API integration, multi-agent pipelines, production LLM workflows, observability for AI systems → Site Reliability Engineering — observability design, incident response, alert rationalization at scale, on-call rotation engineering → Cloud-native infrastructure — AWS, GCP, Kubernetes (CKAD certified), Terraform, distributed systems → Production architecture — microservices, event-driven systems, payments-grade reliability Engagement types I handle well: • Architecture and operations review sessions (1-2 hours) • Reliability assessments for fast-growing platforms (1-4 weeks) • Observability stack design, audit, and tuning • Incident response framework design and on-call runbooks • AI infrastructure architecture for SaaS and consumer products • Production-readiness review for agentic systems and LLM workflows • Cloud cost optimization and infrastructure consolidation Why work with me: I've operated production infrastructure where failures had direct financial consequences (TikTok US Payments) and where every internal team and user depended on uptime (Zapier observability). I bring senior IC engineering judgment, not just opinions. I think in systems, not features. I run my consulting practice TermSignal, focused on Claude-native systems and AI infrastructure for engineering teams. Building toward candidacy in the Anthropic Claude Partner Network. Availability: US-based (Los Angeles), fully remote, available immediately for senior IC engagements. SOC 2 experience for regulated environments. Looking for: senior infrastructure/platform/SRE consulting, AI infrastructure architecture, agentic system reliability review, production observability work.

Production systems should be reliable. Deployments should be repeatable. Alerts should help engineers solve problems, not create them. That's the kind of work I do. I'm a DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer who helps engineering teams build reliable cloud infrastructure, improve observability, automate deployments, and reduce operational overhead. I also write the documentation and technical content that make those systems easier to understand and maintain. Here are a few examples of my work in production: * Migrated 1,200+ SCOM alerts into Splunk and automated NOC forwarding to improve incident response. * Implemented multi-layer validity checks for critical services, improving MTTD by ~13.5% and reducing MTTR by ~10% across high-priority incidents. * Onboarded 6 previously unmonitored services into alerting pipelines, increasing observability coverage to ~86%. * Rewrote PagerDuty routing rules, reducing alert noise by ~53% so only critical pages reached service owners. * Built Python and PowerShell automation that automatically resolved ~35% of repetitive alerts. * Designed Grafana dashboards for 4XX and 5XX error monitoring, giving engineering teams real-time visibility into service health. I also build platform and observability tools. One example is an end-to-end SFTP synthetic monitoring solution that performs connection, authentication, upload, download, SHA-256 verification, cleanup, and exports Prometheus metrics through the Node Exporter textfile collector. The project is fully documented and available on GitHub. Outside production work, I write practical engineering articles on DevOps, observability, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, CI/CD, and incident response. I also create runbooks, operational playbooks, and architecture documentation that help teams understand and operate the systems they build. My toolkit includes AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, PagerDuty, Python, Bash, PowerShell, Linux, and Git. If you need someone who can build reliable infrastructure, improve monitoring, automate operational work, troubleshoot production systems, and communicate technical ideas clearly, I'd be happy to help.
