About
I lead DevOps engineering teams responsible for cloud infrastructure, CI/CD platforms, and the operational tooling that keeps products running. I align platform work with business goals through clear prioritization, automation-first practices, and steady improvement in deployment velocity and reliability.
I’m pushing AI-assisted development into how we actually work—agentic workflows, intelligent automations, and coding tools that accelerate delivery without cutting corners on quality or security. I focus on practical adoption: pilots, guardrails, and hands-on enablement so teams build confidence early rather than waiting for the industry to settle.
My background spans hands-on platform engineering, production support leadership, and customer-facing technical operations—so I’m comfortable from pipeline design and Terraform standards through incident response, compliance, and explaining complex systems to executives and auditors.
Focus
Platform & Cloud
- Multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructure on AWS and Azure
- Terraform, platform migrations, and cloud-native architecture
- CI/CD platforms, developer experience, and shift-left automation
AI & Automation
- AI-assisted coding, review, and platform development workflows
- Agentic automation for ops, delivery, and internal tooling
- Practical adoption — pilots, guardrails, and hands-on enablement
Reliability & Operations
- Incident leadership, root-cause analysis, and long-term reliability
- Security and compliance (PCI DSS, FedRAMP, CJIS) with cost governance and capacity planning
Leadership
- DevOps roadmap ownership — aligning platform work with product and business outcomes
- Hiring, mentoring, and developing engineers across multiple teams
