Welcome! I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with over 5 years of experience building, automating, and managing production AWS infrastructure. I focus on creating scalable, reliable, and secure cloud environments through infrastructure as code, automation, and modern DevOps practices.
I specialize in AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes/EKS, CI/CD, and infrastructure automation. My experience includes building reusable Terraform modules across multi-account AWS environments, automating Linux and Windows AMI delivery with Packer and Ansible, managing production EKS environments, and leading large-scale migrations of Windows and Linux workloads to AWS.
More recently, I’ve been incorporating AI into my DevOps workflows using MCP servers, AI agents, reusable skills, and context engineering. I use these tools alongside traditional automation to accelerate infrastructure development, troubleshooting, scripting, and day-to-day cloud operations.
I also have hands-on experience with production operations and incident response, troubleshooting issues across AWS, Kubernetes, Linux and Windows systems, networking, and applications using tools such as New Relic, CloudWatch, and SSM.
Outside of work, I enjoy learning new technologies and keeping up with how cloud, DevOps, and AI engineering continue to evolve. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, playing video games, and spending time with family and friends.
If you’re interested in my work or would like to connect, feel free to reach out!
