About

I’m a Platform Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable cloud platforms, driving cost optimization, and enabling engineering teams through automation. I bring the discipline of enterprise-scale operations (Volkswagen: 3000+ AWS accounts) together with the speed of greenfield startup infrastructure (Madison Logic: EKS + GitOps platform from scratch). What I bring: - Troubleshooting & Adaptability: known for quickly grasping complex systems, resolving issues under pressure, and aligning solutions to business needs. - Automation & Cost Optimization: delivered 47% AWS cost savings and reduced deployment time by 3x with GitOps workflows. - Agile Practices: hands-on experience leading teams, streamlining delivery, and driving best practices across CI/CD and infra standards. - Technical Depth: Kubernetes (EKS), AWS (Lambda, ECS, EC2, S3, DynamoDB, IAM), Terraform, CloudFormation, Python automation, and GitOps (ArgoCD, Helm, GitLab CI). I thrive as a hands-on engineer, but my experience also equips me to influence teams, set standards, and drive initiatives when the role calls for it. 📬 Open to Senior IC roles where I can apply my technical depth, proactive problem-solving, and automation mindset—while continuing to grow toward broader technical leadership.
