About

Professional summary

I am a Senior DevOps and infrastructure engineer who builds and owns reliable systems end-to-end. My work centers on deployment architecture, infrastructure automation, CI/CD, Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, Azure, and production reliability.

I design scalable release and deployment systems that reduce manual work, configuration drift, and operational risk. I enjoy translating ambiguous technical needs into practical architectures, standards, and automated workflows.

I am experienced in incident response and serve effectively as an escalation point during high-impact production issues and launches. I focus on resolving problems quickly while improving the underlying systems to prevent recurrence.

I have led and mentored engineers in infrastructure, debugging, deployment practices, and operational discipline. I value clear pull-request and release standards that help teams move faster with fewer failures.

My background also includes IT leadership, support operations, vendor management, server migrations, EHR modernization, and organization-wide remote-work enablement. I bring both strategic technical direction and hands-on operational execution to infrastructure-focused teams.
