Senior SRE & Cloud Architect | 20 Years of solving problems in cloud, networks and code | AWS | IaC (Terraform) | Python | Observability strategy | FinOps & Cost optimization I am an SRE with over two decades of experience navigating the evolution of IT from pulling fiber optic cables and configuring Cisco hardware to architecting global multi-account AWS ecosystems. My background as a Systems Administrator, Network Engineer, and Software Developer allows me to see the "full stack" in a way few modern cloud engineers can. WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE: CLOUD ARCHITECTURE AT SCALE: Expert in managing complex AWS organizations, global networking via Transit Gateways, and resilient workflows on Kubernetes and Lambda. ENGINEERING LEADERSHIP: Proven ability to act as a Directly Responsible Individual (DRI), leading high-stakes projects like company-wide observability migrations to OpenTelemetry and Datadog. INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE (IaC): Deeply committed to a declarative approach using Terraform, Atlantis, supplemented by custom Python tooling to automate serverless deployments. OPERATIONAL MATURITY & FINOPS: I don't just "fix" systems. I build Maturity Models for observability and drive cost optimization through rightsizing and strategic cloud governance. I thrive in remote, cross-border collaborations where I can leverage my organizational skills to solve "impossible" problems. Whether it’s refactoring a monolith into microservices or optimizing a global cloud spend, I focus on engineering excellence that supports business growth.
