About

I’m a Principal Cloud & Platform Engineer with 11+ years of experience building secure, scalable, and cost-optimized infrastructure across GCP and AWS. My work blends deep Kubernetes expertise with a strong security-first mindset—covering everything from workload hardening and IAM design to runtime threat detection and policy-as-code enforcement. At Porter, I’m currently leading security engineering and platformization efforts, driving initiatives like Akamai WAF integration, ISO certification, Kubernetes admission control, and AI-powered remediation workflows. I’ve implemented SBOM/SCA scanning, shift-left security, and built intelligent agents using Gemini and Claude to automate tasks like Terraform error detection and Kong route validation—winning our company-wide AI hackathon. I also led the AWS-to-GCP migration in just 6 months, achieving a 60% cost reduction while modernizing infrastructure with GKE, CloudSQL, and real-time autoscaling based on traffic patterns. Whether it’s implementing DevSecOps at scale or building self-healing platforms, I’m passionate about enabling developer velocity without compromising on security.
