AWS cloud architect building resilient serverless data platforms and AI systems.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to architect AWS-first, multi-tenant data platforms—serverless and event-driven—with streaming reliability, least-privilege security, and room to deploy AI copilots and anomaly detection. Remote with US Pacific overlap fits how I work.

I’m an AWS Cloud Architect with five years of solutions architecture work across data platforms and AI systems. I built VPC and IAM foundations in Terraform, designed a multi-tenant, largely serverless ingestion architecture that pulls ERP data from more than 30 enterprises sites under a 99.9% SLA, and replaced 24-hour batch reporting with Kafka streaming that delivers in under an hour.

I also ship internal AI on production data—like an LLM assistant for incident triage and anomaly detection models inside the data quality gates—so reliability and fast iteration go together. I hold the AWS Certified Data Analytics Specialty, work remotely with daily overlap of US Pacific hours, and consistently focus on cost optimization, high availability/disaster recovery, and least-privilege security with automated CI/CD and clear monitoring/alerting.
