I build secure multi-cloud data infrastructure and FinOps governance.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Nimbus Optimized, I build multi-cloud cost-governance engines using Python and Pandas to analyze OCI and Azure billing data, eliminate resource waste, and reduce cloud spend.
At Loews Hotels & Co., I modernize regulated financial reporting workloads into cloud data environments while aligning infrastructure with PCI DSS, SOX, and FISMA. I also design identity architectures using MFA, SSO, Microsoft Entra ID, and granular IAM policies.
Previously, I supported mission-critical USPS transportation systems at ASM Research, investigating production incidents, querying PostgreSQL, and maintaining FISMA compliance. I bring hands-on experience across AWS, Azure, OCI, data pipelines, cloud governance, and zero-trust access controls.
