At Dealpath, I architect multi-cluster AWS platform capabilities that improve deployment safety, disaster recovery, environment isolation, and operational reliability across the application estate.

I built a disaster-recovery assurance model across seven EKS clusters, audited 149 S3 buckets across three regions, and traced critical Kubernetes and application bootstrap defects before activation could cause a platform outage. I also designed workload isolation for integration tests and shaped production promotion architecture for immutable artifacts, manual gates, and future canary rollouts.

Previously at Amazon, I built self-service infrastructure and FinOps automation in Go and Python so internal AWS teams could provision compliant, observable environments without operational tickets.

I designed a Crossplane control plane on EKS and Backstage/envctl workflows that reduced environment provisioning from weeks to under 12 minutes. My FinOps pipeline improved cost visibility and saved $1.8M annually, while IAM boundaries, IRSA scopes, SLOs, synthetic checks, and runbooks strengthened secure, reliable operations at scale.
