I build secure, self-service AWS platforms and AI-driven DevSecOps automation.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've built enterprise AWS platforms and internal Terraform products for Accenture, Innovative Systems, ZipCar, and Avis. At Accenture, I authored “Terraform Best Practices,” helped establish the Terraform Center of Excellence, and delivered shared module libraries across more than 200 AWS accounts.
At Innovative Systems, I built agentic DevSecOps automation with Claude Code, integrating compliance-as-code and self-healing remediation to cut security incident response time by 95%. I also engineered Terraform modules that reduced code by 68% and enabled 10x faster provisioning.
I bring 25+ years in enterprise software, 10+ years operating production AWS, and hands-on experience spanning EKS, Kubernetes, GitOps, distributed systems, observability, and cloud cost optimization.
