About Me

Who I Am

I started out as an infrastructure engineer at an IIoT startup, building monitoring and authentication systems from scratch. That hands-on foundation shaped how I think about systems today — reliability first, automation always. Over 5+ years and four companies, I've grown into architecting cloud platforms and delivering production software end to end.

I obsess over eliminating toil. If a team is spending hours on repetitive deployments, fragile runbooks, or manual provisioning, I see it as an engineering problem worth solving permanently. That mindset — treat operations as code — is the thread running through every project I take on.

Right now I'm especially excited about weaving AI-driven tooling into day-to-day platform engineering — smarter alerting, self-healing pipelines, and intelligent cost governance. The goal is always the same: ship faster, break less, and give teams their time back.

What I Offer

Services

Full-stack Python/FastAPI development, cloud-native architecture, and DevOps automation — I handle the complete software and infrastructure lifecycle.

Cloud Architecture Design

End-to-end AWS & Azure solution architecture — multi-AZ, auto-scaling, security-hardened, cost-optimized.

DevOps & CI/CD Automation

GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps pipelines — automated testing, deployment, and rollback strategies.

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, Ansible — reusable modules, drift detection, and self-service provisioning.

Full-Stack Application Delivery

Production APIs with Python, FastAPI, Celery & PostgreSQL — plus React/Next.js frontends, all containerized and cloud-deployed.

Cloud Migration

On-prem to AWS/Azure migrations — servers, databases, networking, identity, with minimal downtime.

Monitoring & Observability

Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, New Relic, Loki — dashboards, alerting, log aggregation, and performance insights.

Security & Compliance

Cloud security hardening, RBAC, secrets management, compliance controls, and vulnerability scanning pipelines.

Technical Consulting & Advisory

Architecture reviews, tech stack selection, team upskilling, and strategic roadmap planning for startups and enterprises.
