Staff Platform Engineer at GE HealthCare who scaled Port.io to 4,000+ self-service requests.

At GE HealthCare, I co-tech lead a nine-person platform team and set technical direction for the EKS roadmap. I’ve scaled Port.io to 4,000+ self-service requests for scaffolding, deployments, and just-in-time elevated access.

I led the migration of InteleShare from on-premises datacenters to AWS and Kubernetes, then scaled the delivery pattern to 22+ EKS clusters across six regions. The migration eliminated daily database crashes, with no recurrence since cutover.

I implemented Karpenter across the clusters, saving $300k+ in 2025, and automated compliance reporting to raise continuous coverage from 63% to 94%. I also lead the move to Kargo progressive delivery; onboarded teams see five times the deploy frequency and shorter lead times.

Earlier at Radius, LLC, I redesigned the enterprise network using spine-and-leaf VXLAN and dynamic BGP, raising maximum throughput from 20 Gbps to 100+ Gbps. I also led a DevOps transformation that cut the customer deployment cycle from four weeks to under one hour.
