Staff DevOps and SRE engineer scaling mission-critical cloud platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Staff DevOps Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer with 9+ years designing, operating, and scaling cloud-native platforms in highly regulated industries like aviation and digital banking. I focus on keeping services highly available, secure, and resilient while supporting teams to ship safely and consistently.
At ForeFlight, I led the design and operation of highly available cloud infrastructure for a mission-critical enterprise platform. I established CI/CD standards, built multi-region Infrastructure as Code, and implemented observability and alerting frameworks to reduce detection and recovery time for production workloads.
Previously, at Alkami, I supported reliability and scalability for a cloud-native digital banking platform by running Kubernetes-based infrastructure, defining SLOs/SLIs and error budgets, and improving incident response through alerting, runbooks, and on-call processes. I also strengthened disaster recovery and failover strategies, optimized latency for real-time transactions, and partnered with security and compliance teams on PCI DSS and FFIEC-aligned practices.
