About

I’m a Senior Cloud Developer with 11+ years of experience building and optimizing cloud-native automation platforms and telecom systems. I specialize in Golang, Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, and Python, C with a focus on creating secure, scalable, and intelligent infrastructure solutions. At IBM, I design and develop IBM Cloud Schematics service, the service that powers Terraform and Ansible automation on IBM Cloud. My work includes driving architecture enhancements, open-source contributions, and innovations around policy enforcement, secure workloads with Kata Containers, and distributed Schematics Agents. Previously, I contributed to datacenter and telecom platforms at Radisys, including Intel Rack Scale Design, CORD (SDN/NFV), and Datacenter Inventory Management (DCIM) systems. Earlier in my career, I built Python-based automation frameworks and implemented radio scheduling algorithms for Small Cell eNodeB systems. I’m passionate about open-source innovation, performance engineering, and using automation and AI to simplify cloud operations.
