Executive Summary

Leadership that scales cloud platforms and the people behind them.

I lead cloud engineering organizations through the hard parts: large migrations, security remediation, and the day-two work that turns modern platforms into a business advantage.

Over 8+ years I've delivered enterprise migrations across AWS and Azure, modernized CI/CD from Bamboo and Jenkins into GitHub Actions, and stood up Kubernetes platforms on EKS and AKS that engineering teams actually enjoy using.

My value proposition is simple: pair rigorous DevSecOps with thoughtful team-building, and business outcomes follow.

Technical Expertise

A modern platform stack, wired for security and speed.

Deep in the tools that matter — from IaC to identity — with the operational scars to use them well.

I've built and led platforms combining AWS and Azure with Kubernetes, Terraform, and GitHub Actions, and modernized identity and access management to meet DoD, ITAR, and enterprise compliance requirements.

Management Philosophy

How I lead engineering teams.

Four principles that shape how platforms — and the people who run them — grow.

Automation-first

If we do it twice, we automate it. Toil is a bug — platforms exist to remove it.

Security by design

Guardrails belong in the pipeline, not the postmortem. Ship secure defaults, then iterate.

Mentorship compounds

High-performing teams are built one 1:1 at a time. Growth is the durable outcome.

Continuous improvement

Small, measurable wins beat heroic rewrites. Operate on evidence, not opinion.

Modernizing a cloud platform, or hiring the leader to do it?

I'm open to Senior Manager and Director-level roles in cloud, platform, and DevSecOps engineering.
