What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable, self-service cloud platforms and developer tooling, with ownership across observability, CI/CD, GitOps, secrets, and AI-native automation for complex distributed systems.

I'm leading CI/CD infrastructure at Boomi, supporting hundreds of production pipelines on AWS EKS while improving deployment reliability, throughput, security, and operational visibility.

Previously at Comcast, I re-architected Kubernetes observability with Prometheus and Grafana, built secure self-service secrets synchronization with Vault and External Secrets, and helped shape organization-wide ArgoCD GitOps standards.

I've built developer platforms across Go, Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, AWS, and GCP—from a Go CDK-based PaaS and ephemeral preview environments at Benefits Data Trust to Kubernetes migrations and Ruby on Rails development at WebLinc Ecommerce.

I'm also building kube-pilot, an agentic Kubernetes automation platform that turns GitHub issues into auditable GitOps-driven builds, deployments, verification, and remediation. I bring hands-on production support, incident response, distributed-systems debugging, mentoring, and community teaching to platform work.
