Owned the modernization of ~40 workloads from EC2 to EKS, cutting manual deployment time from ~45 minutes to under 10 minutes across dev, staging, and production. Authored CI/CD pipeline templates with embedded SonarQube SAST, Checkov IaC scanning, Trivy scanning, and OPA policy gates, adopted by ~8 engineering teams.

Operated and maintained tactical wheeled vehicles in convoy operations, performing PMCS and coordinating logistics to ensure equipment readiness while holding an Active DoD Secret Clearance. Applied disciplined planning and communication under pressure to support unit mission requirements.

Architected AWS and OCI Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and CloudFormation, authoring ~15 reusable Terraform modules used as account-vending standards. Implemented GitOps delivery with ArgoCD, built secure CI/CD quality gates (SonarQube, Snyk, Trivy, Checkov), and reduced average Docker image size by roughly half using multi-stage and distroless builds.

Built CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Git, Maven, and Docker for microservices in a regulated financial environment and automated infrastructure provisioning with Terraform, Chef, and Ansible to reduce drift. Integrated SonarQube and Checkov into CI/CD security and quality gates and implemented AWS security baselines (KMS encryption, MFA enforcement, IAM permission boundaries, AWS Config) supporting

Implemented Jenkins- and Docker-based CI/CD for HIPAA-compliant healthcare applications, integrating Trivy to detect CVEs before production promotion. Automated secure infrastructure with Terraform and enforced HIPAA/SOC 2 and CIS Benchmark controls, monitoring health with CloudWatch and supporting incident response and post-incident analysis.

Earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 2018.
