About

I'm the person teams call when infrastructure starts resembling a Jenga tower. Six years into this DevOps journey, I've learned that elegant automation isn't just about writing code—it's about understanding the humans who use it. At Cox Enterprises, I spend my days turning "it works on my machine" into "it works everywhere, every time." My toolkit includes AWS, Terraform, and Kubernetes, but my real superpower is translating between dev-speak and ops-speak. My background in electronics engineering taught me that the most beautiful circuits are the ones you never have to think about—the same philosophy I bring to cloud architecture. As an AWS Community Builder, I love sharing those "aha!" moments that make our collective work easier. When I'm not automating the universe, you'll find me tinkering with open-source projects or debating the merits of different CI/CD patterns over coffee. Let's connect if you're interested in making technology work better for humans!
