Senior SRE and Platform Engineer with 8 years of experience building reliable, scalable infrastructure on Kubernetes and AWS.
I partner with engineering teams to design and operate platform infrastructure: GitOps buildouts, observability deployments, on-call process design, and IaC library development. I've spent 5 years embedded in large Kubernetes environments on AWS, working alongside developers in organizations ranging from 50 to 200+ engineers.
A broad platform skillset built through years of direct ownership, from architecture decisions through daily operations and cross-team enablement.
I've designed and built GitOps platforms from greenfield and modernized existing ones. Argo, Helm, Kustomize. Gated repo architectures, environment state management, automated validation, and developer self-service workflows.
I deploy and standardize Prometheus, Grafana, and Elastic stacks across multi-team environments, replacing fragmented monitoring setups with a single consistent standard that developers actually use.
I author and maintain Terraform modules with least-privilege patterns, automated testing, and CI/CD-driven deployments, including contributions to enterprise module libraries consumed across large multi-team portfolios.
I build versioned, modular pipeline libraries (GitHub Actions, Bash, Python, Golang) covering the full delivery lifecycle: build, security scanning, drift detection, change management, and release notes.
I've built on-call structures, incident response workflows, severity definitions, postmortem processes, and cross-timezone communication standards from scratch. Built to actually get used, not filed away.
I design tooling, intake processes, and workflows that help engineering ideas move from prototype to org-wide adoption, with developer-facing diagnostics and self-serve deployment visibility.
Day-to-day ownership of EKS clusters, Istio service mesh, Kong ingress, and AWS Controller for Kubernetes (ACK), across multi-cluster, multi-account environments.
I've led migrations from brittle, opaque deployment systems to auditable, maintainable platforms. Careful migration planning keeps existing workloads running throughout.
I analyze application service flows to identify critical execution paths and instrumentation gaps, and write Go instrumentation code to add missing Prometheus metrics and enable alerting on previously opaque paths.
I build prompt-driven workflows that analyze service flows to map critical paths and surface instrumentation gaps, and that automatically review code changes and deployments against historical incidents, common mistakes, and likely future pitfalls.
A summary of where I've worked and what I've built. Full history in the resume.
Senior SRE embedded with a Kubernetes-based microservice platform team supporting Java and Golang applications. I had direct ownership of one application platform spanning 3 AWS accounts and 6 EKS clusters, with broader contributions across ~10 applications, 30 AWS accounts, and 50 clusters in an organization of 100+ developers.
Systems engineer supporting GDIT's Global Shared Services Program for the U.S. Department of State.
