United States

Message

At Duo Security (Cisco), I rolled out multi-region Kubernetes scaling across 60+ deployments and cut infrastructure costs by 83%, saving $220K per year. I also automated CI/CD validation, reducing regression risk by 80%.

I instrumented services with Datadog and Splunk to bring mean time to detect incidents from roughly 6–8 hours to about 5 minutes. I also productionized a Claude-based alert-triage agent that saves roughly 10 engineer-hours each week.
