Senior Cloud / DevOps Engineer — 15+ years building and running distributed platforms at scale, now focused on AWS, platform engineering, and reliability.
I build and operate AWS cloud platforms — containers, serverless, and the CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code that ship them safely — and I keep clusters up, pipelines flowing, and incidents short. Security hardening is baked into everything I run, not bolted on after.
