I led the SAIC/Koverse air-gapped Kubernetes deployment, organizing implementation milestones, coordinating engineers, managing technical blockers, and supporting testing and customer acceptance. I also trained onsite engineers.

At Dark Wolf, I led VMware infrastructure work across primary and secondary data centers, from planning and testing through implementation and troubleshooting. I developed Ansible playbooks and Python and Bash scripts for configuration, deployment, and operational automation.

At Koverse-SAIC, I architected and managed hybrid infrastructure across on-premises data centers and AWS GovCloud. I also served as technical and Scrum lead for an AWS GovCloud application deployment, coordinating issues and customer validation.
