I've engineered and operated highly available AWS and event-streaming platforms at KPMG, supporting enterprise workloads through Apache Kafka and Confluent Platform/Cloud.

I design event-driven architectures and manage the full Kafka lifecycle, from cluster provisioning, broker configuration, Kafka Connect, Schema Registry, and MirrorMaker 2 to performance tuning, security, and upgrades with minimal downtime. I also build secure AWS infrastructure and networking across EC2, VPC, IAM, EKS, ECS, PrivateLink, Transit Gateway, and VPC Peering.

Across KPMG, Northern Trust, and Liberty Mutual Insurance, I've automated infrastructure delivery with Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, PowerShell, Bash, and Python.

I'm focused on reliable production platforms: observability, incident response, capacity planning, disaster recovery, infrastructure hardening, and secure event streaming with SASL_SSL, mTLS, SCRAM, ACLs, RBAC, and AWS KMS.
