What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable, secure delivery and cloud platforms for business-critical systems, improving Kubernetes operations, CI/CD consistency, observability, and automated infrastructure workflows.

I've spent 20+ years building and operating infrastructure, with more than a decade focused on delivery platforms and cloud infrastructure.

At VALR, I improve CI/CD architecture, build reusable Terraform and GitOps patterns, and operate Kubernetes infrastructure for distributed, business-critical cryptocurrency workloads. I also expand observability and strengthen secure engineering access and blockchain infrastructure resilience.

Previously at Beamery and Worth Internet Systems, I improved reliability for multi-tenant SaaS and hybrid production platforms, led GitLab adoption, standardized CI/CD practices, and introduced Kubernetes and reusable Infrastructure as Code patterns.

I build security into delivery workflows through IAM, workload identity, secrets management, and zero-trust access. I also use AI-assisted tooling for code review, infrastructure troubleshooting, operational automation, and traceable Kubernetes incident investigation.
