What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, resilient cloud platforms and automated delivery systems, partnering across development, security, architecture, and operations teams to improve reliability, release quality, and incident response.

I'm currently building and operating mission-critical retail application delivery at T-Mobile, where I architect GitLab CI/CD and Jenkins pipelines, manage Kubernetes and PCF releases, and strengthen production readiness through rollback planning, observability, and incident response.

Across AT&T, Verizon, and Fidelity Investments, I've automated cloud infrastructure and deployments across AWS, Azure, and OCI. I've migrated applications and databases, built monitoring with Splunk, ELK, Datadog, Dynatrace, and CloudWatch, and improved security through IAM, RBAC, LDAP/SAML, vulnerability remediation, and compliance audits.

I bring 10+ years of hands-on platform engineering experience spanning Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Python, Bash, Linux, and enterprise application servers. I also use AI-assisted engineering tools including Claude, ChatGPT, and GitHub Copilot to accelerate delivery, documentation, and root-cause analysis.
