I build internal developer platforms that accelerate secure, reliable cloud-native software delivery.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reusable internal developer platforms and AI-assisted delivery capabilities that reduce developer friction, strengthen reliability and security, and help engineering teams ship faster with confidence.

At Resident Interface, I'm building an engineering platform that helps developers build, test, and deploy software faster while improving reliability, security, and developer experience. I've established the foundation for an Internal Developer Platform with self-service capabilities, standardized environments, automated quality gates, security scanning, policy enforcement, and AI-assisted testing.

Previously at Concentric AI, I built and operated the AWS cloud platform supporting its Data Security Posture Management and AI-driven data security solutions. I automated infrastructure and deployments with Terraform and Helm, improved Kubernetes operations on EKS, and strengthened observability through CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenSearch.

My work spans hands-on platform engineering and technical advisory roles at AWS, Mindtree, Cisco, Capgemini, and earlier DevOps and QA teams. At AWS, I advised enterprise and high-growth customers on cloud adoption, Well-Architected practices, modernization, scaling, resilience, and cost optimization.

I enjoy reducing developer friction through reusable platforms, automation, self-service engineering, and practical DevOps and SRE practices. I also document real-world platform engineering, AI engineering, and developer productivity initiatives through architecture case studies and engineering articles.
