I build autonomous AI-driven cloud infrastructure, secure payment platforms, and resilient Kubernetes systems.
What I'm looking for
At Tap Payments, I build agentic AI systems with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore for autonomous AWS monitoring, incident response, predictive scaling, and compliance. My work reduced manual intervention by 85%, MTTR by 70%, and AWS costs by 40% while supporting PCI-DSS payment systems processing millions of daily transactions.
Previously, I automated infrastructure and delivery at Strategic Systems International and built Omningage Cloud CX on Amazon Connect at Icommunix. I share practical agentic AI and DevOps implementation guidance through Medium and contribute to Kubernetes automation tools and Terraform modules.
