About

I've spent 13+ years working with cloud systems, both in the public cloud (AWS and GCP) and on private cloud setups running in company data centers. As a senior DevOps engineer, I help teams automate their work and run complex applications on Kubernetes. I enjoy using Python to create automation tools that save time and reduce errors. For deployments, I work with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Terraform to make sure code gets from development to production smoothly and reliably. I've dealt with pretty much everything from small applications to large enterprise systems, and I'm comfortable managing environments that span multiple cloud providers and on-premises infrastructure. When I'm not knee-deep in code, I write about technical topics on Medium and my blog. I write about Cloud(AWS, GCP), Devops, Python Sharing what I've learned helps others and keeps me sharp.

I'm always up for a good technical conversation!
