What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead cloud, platform, DevOps, or reliability work where I can improve multi-cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes operations, automation, observability, and developer delivery workflows.

At Stripe, I lead platform engineering across AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes for 50+ microservices supporting payment systems processing $1B+ annually. I’ve built 500+ pod Kubernetes clusters, automated operations to reduce manual effort by about 60%, and maintained 99.9%+ uptime across 100+ production systems.

Previously at Anthropic, Cerner, and Etsy, I built multi-cloud infrastructure, GitOps deployment pipelines, internal developer platforms, and infrastructure-as-code frameworks. I enjoy improving reliability, deployment velocity, observability, and self-service engineering workflows through Terraform, Pulumi, Kubernetes, Python, Go, and CI/CD automation.
