About
I build things that hold up after launch.

Cloud Engineer and AWS Solutions Architect with a decade of enterprise IT experience and a portfolio of production systems built end-to-end on AWS, across isolated accounts, with CDK infrastructure-as-code, OIDC-based CI/CD, and cross-account observability.


I work across the full stack: event-driven serverless backends, ECS Fargate container workloads, React frontends, and AI integrations using Anthropic Claude and Ollama. RabbitHole, QuicLens, and PureZen are all shipped, all in production, all demoable.


My enterprise IT background shapes how I design. Systems that are observable, documented, supportable, and built for the people who will own them long after I'm gone.
