What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role in a collaborative environment that values continuous learning and innovation.

As a DevOps and Cloud Engineer with over 9 years of experience, I specialize in designing and operating scalable SaaS infrastructure. My expertise in AWS CDK (TypeScript), GitHub-driven CI/CD, Docker/Kubernetes, and Datadog observability has enabled me to translate fast feedback into rapid, secure, and reliable releases. I thrive in collaborative, blameless cultures that value continuous learning, and I have successfully cut deploy lead-time by 75% and maintained an MTTR of less than 30 minutes for teams of all sizes.

In my recent role as a Platform Engineer at Triage Staffing, I authored reusable AWS CDK stacks that significantly improved the speed of product environment setups. I also re-platformed numerous legacy applications into Docker containers, which boosted deployment frequency from weekly to several times daily. My work has empowered teams to visualize campaign health in real-time through Datadog dashboards, and I have introduced workflows that have drastically reduced configuration drift incidents.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my ability to implement cost-saving measures and enhance security protocols. I designed multi-account AWS Landing Zones that enabled successful PCI-DSS audits and saved significant operational costs through strategic migrations. My commitment to fostering a culture of blameless retrospectives and continuous improvement has been a cornerstone of my professional ethos.
