At Sony Interactive Entertainment, I build scalable automation for system provisioning, configuration, and maintenance, lead AWS account migrations to Terraform, and design infrastructure for EKS-level services including Jenkins and Zabbix.

Previously at Signifyd and Trellisware Technologies, I improved CI pipelines, Kubernetes operations, Terraform testing, build systems, security analysis, and Dockerized development workflows. I've also built tools for debugging releases, automated Jenkins deployments, and deployment reporting with Ansible.

My background combines an MS in Controls & Robotics with hands-on embedded systems, Linux, filtering and estimation, EMI testing, and personal projects spanning FOB signal decoding, persistence-of-vision displays, and PID/LQG balance bots.
