Message

I'm supporting Maximus's large Java microservice application across 12 Terraform infrastructure-as-code environments, 120+ Linux servers, and eight SQL databases. I manage and improve Jenkins-based CI/CD deployments while partnering directly with development and QA teams.

I've designed, built, and supported highly available AWS systems for more than a dozen federal projects, using services including EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, IAM, CloudFront, load balancing, and ElastiCache. I monitor production environments with CloudWatch, AppDynamics, Splunk, and Splunk On-Call, and document changing processes and architecture.

My foundation spans cloud engineering, systems administration, infrastructure security, and Tier III support. I bring AWS Solutions Architect Professional, AWS SysOps Administrator Associate, and Azure Fundamentals certifications to building cost-effective, secure, scalable systems guided by the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
