I build automated, reliable cloud infrastructure and DevOps pipelines for fleet, media, and operations platforms.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Woodlawn Motor Coach, I automate hybrid AWS and Azure infrastructure for fleet management, telematics, dispatch, maintenance, and passenger-reservation systems. I use Ansible, Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Docker, OpenShift, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI/CD to reduce provisioning time by 50%, release lead time by 35%, and maintain 99.9% uptime.
I've built telemetry ingestion, predictive-maintenance, compliance-reporting, fuel analytics, and dispatch-optimization services using Python, SQL, Spark, Airflow, AWS, Azure Synapse, Power BI, Kubernetes, Redis, and REST APIs. My work includes 10+ TB/day data ingestion, a 30% reduction in unplanned road calls, and a 12% cut in diesel fuel spend.
Previously at Maddox Audio Visual, I delivered cloud, networking, virtualization, CI/CD, streaming, and media-platform infrastructure for digital signage and live-event clients. I also supported Columbia Fleet by automating Linux administration, storage, monitoring, secure remote connectivity, and fleet telematics collection.
I'm pursuing modern infrastructure opportunities where I can integrate cloud technologies, streamline development pipelines, improve deployment speed, and scale reliable systems across cloud environments.
