At Ernst & Young, I architect secure GitOps-based Kubernetes platforms on Azure using Terraform, ArgoCD, Kargo, and Helm. I improved platform SLOs through OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana, while reducing release time by 45%.

I've operated Kubernetes at scale across AWS, GCP, and Azure, including managing more than 10 production GKE and EKS clusters for Ford Motor Company through Nuvalence. I build multi-region infrastructure, ephemeral testing environments, secure secrets delivery, and automated certificate lifecycle management.

My work focuses on making platforms safer and easier for product teams to use through CI/CD automation, self-service tooling, standardized Helm charts, and strong developer workflows.

I also bring hands-on systems administration experience across VMware, Exchange, SAML, ADFS, Veeam backup, and disaster recovery. I value knowledge sharing, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to on-call, postmortem, and long-term reliability practices.
