What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and operate secure cloud platforms and CI/CD systems where I can solve distributed-systems challenges, improve developer velocity, and lead foundational technical decisions.

I've built cloud-native platform systems at Booz Allen Hamilton and real-time gaming infrastructure at Aristocrat Gaming, supporting millions of transactions and player interactions.

At Booz Allen Hamilton, I architect and deploy AWS CI/CD pipelines for more than 50 government and commercial clients. I build Terraform and CloudFormation frameworks, strengthen secure multi-tenant development environments, and embed automated security scanning and policy-as-code controls into delivery workflows.

At Aristocrat Gaming, I built transaction processing systems for casino and online platforms, improved telemetry for DORA metrics and flaky-test diagnosis, and developed remote caching and automated test-splitting to support mobile release cadence.

I enjoy solving distributed-systems problems, hardening infrastructure, and mentoring engineers through platform architecture decisions that improve code quality and developer velocity.
