I’m an experienced Cloud Engineer specializing in Google Cloud and backend Go development. My focus is on designing and implementing secure, scalable, cost-effective cloud architectures and solutions that fit your business and technical requirements.

Maintaining my two Google Cloud certifications, Professional Cloud Architect and Professional Cloud Developer, and engaging in the broader developer community keeps me up to date on Google Cloud product announcements and best practices.

My clients benefit from my experience handling the full application lifecycle, including day two operations such as Backup and Disaster Recovery. I am comfortable with the Google Cloud Operations Suite (Logging, Tracing, Metrics, Error Reporting) and handling observability of currently running applications. I strive to make meaningful, actionable insights easy to access and understand for my clients.

When I write application code I use Go and typically develop horizontally scalable, stateless apps that are deployed to managed compute platforms meant for running containers, like Cloud Run and GKE. I have experience with a wide range of API technologies, including REST, GraphQL, gRPC, OAuth, JWTs, and modern bot/abuse protection. I implement efficient webhook handlers and API integrations so that you don't have to worry about data deduplication or mishandled events.

Tech Stack:
- Infrastructure: GCP, Firebase, GitHub, Terraform Cloud, MongoDB Atlas
- Databases: MongoDB, Firestore, Cloud Spanner, BadgerDB (k/v), SQLite
- Compute: Cloud Run, Cloud Run Functions, GKE
- Networking: Cloud Load Balancing, Cloud Armor, Cloud DNS, Cloud CDN
- Other GCP Services: Pub/Sub, Operations Suite
- Application Lifecycle: Cloud Build, Cloud Deploy
- Authentication: Auth0, Firebase Auth
- Messaging: Twilio, Vonage
- Payments: Stripe, Circle

Other Specialty Areas:
- Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
- Cloud Native Applications
- Event Driven Architecture
- Webhook Integration
- SaaS and Multi-Tenant Applications
- Application Lifecycle and CI/CD
- API Development (REST + gRPC)

I take on projects of all sizes, at many different levels of involvement. I look forward to working with you!
