Message

At Smartwyre, I designed and maintain an on-demand platform that provisions isolated Azure test environments with Terraform in under 30 minutes, used daily by more than 20 engineers and QA.

I codified identity and access management, including automated engineer onboarding and offboarding, and wrote and maintain reusable Terraform modules for core cloud services. I also built GitHub Actions workflows and Azure DevOps pipeline templates for builds, deployments, database migrations, and Terraform operations.

I built an AI agent that can create, inspect, self-heal, and tear down environments, and exposed it through an MCP server for use from the portal, Microsoft Teams, and Claude Code. I also audited systems, remediated penetration-testing findings, and owned evidence for controls supporting a successful SOC 2 Type II certification.

Earlier at Smartwyre, I engineered C# and PostgreSQL optimizations that reduced a critical overnight calculation from 7 to 3 hours. At BrightBean Labs, I was the primary developer on an event management system used at AWS re:Invent 2018, and owned key features of a .NET and React medical eLearning platform.
