What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead cloud and platform engineering work where I can improve reliability, automate infrastructure, guide teams, and streamline delivery across AWS and Azure environments.

I lead DevOps and platform engineering at Jeppesen ForeFlight, guiding technical delivery, sprint planning, mentoring, and stakeholder communication across cross-functional teams.

I've migrated enterprise workloads from Azure to AWS with minimal downtime, built highly available Kubernetes and Amazon ECS platforms, and established Terraform-based infrastructure provisioning. I also create CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions and improve observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch.

Previously at Boeing, Deloitte, PegaSystems, and Thomson Reuters, I delivered cloud migrations, containerization, FinOps cost savings of up to 40%, automation, security improvements, and reliable production support.
