Building Developer-First Infrastructure
Transforming how teams build, deploy, and scale software through modern platform engineering, cloud architecture, and developer experience optimization.
My Journey
Enterprise IT & Systems Engineering
I started as an IT Analyst at Eli Lilly, an F100 pharmaceutical company, translating executive requirements into technical solutions. That experience drove me toward hands-on engineering, and I moved into a Systems Engineering role working with BSD *nix, Cisco networking, and server infrastructure.
View ResumeA Decade of Full Stack Development
Over the next ten years I worked across Rails, Laravel, various Node stacks, and native iOS/Android. Building end-to-end applications gave me a thorough understanding of the complete software development lifecycle—from database schema to client-side performance.
Platform Engineering Focus
Colleagues and managers consistently turned to me for help with infrastructure, deployments, and scaling challenges. Five years ago I made that my focus full-time, combining deep technical experience with a drive to improve developer productivity and system reliability.
Platform Engineering Expertise
Cloud Architecture
I design and implement scalable, resilient cloud infrastructure with a focus on Azure. From microservices architecture to serverless solutions, I build platforms that grow with your business.
Infrastructure as Code
I am a Terraform specialist with deep experience in managing complex infrastructure deployments. I create reusable, version-controlled infrastructure that ensures consistency across environments.
DevOps & CI/CD
I streamline your development workflow with automated pipelines, testing strategies, and deployment processes that reduce friction and increase confidence in releases.
Developer Portals
I implement developer portals like Backstage to create self-service platforms that empower teams to discover services, manage resources, and maintain standards autonomously.
Developer Tooling
I build custom tools and automation that eliminate toil, reduce cognitive load, and let developers focus on what they do best: creating great software.
System Reliability
I design observability, monitoring, and alerting systems that provide visibility into system health and enable proactive issue resolution.

My Philosophy
Great platform engineering isn't just about the technology—it's about understanding developer workflows, removing friction, and creating systems that feel intuitive and powerful.
Developer Experience First
Every platform decision should make developers more productive, not add complexity. I focus on creating self-service capabilities that feel natural to use.
Reliability by Design
I build systems that don't just work, but work consistently under pressure. Observability, testing, and gradual rollouts are built into everything I create.
User-Centric Approach
Prioritizing the needs and experiences of end-users in every decision. Ensuring that the platforms and tools we build genuinely enhance productivity and satisfaction.
