I design, automate and operate cloud infrastructure that stays up when it matters. Four clouds, nine certifications, and a strong preference for infrastructure that is written down rather than clicked together.

01About
Infrastructure that behaves itself
A short version of the last four years, minus the buzzwords.
I'm a cloud engineer who spends his days somewhere between a terraform plan and a kubectl describe. Over the last four-plus years I've moved workloads across AWS, GCP and Azure, replaced click-ops with reproducible infrastructure, and made a lot of 3 AM pages stop happening.
I hold nine cloud certifications across four providers — five of them Google Cloud Professional level — but the part I actually enjoy is the unglamorous work: shaving minutes off a deploy pipeline, writing the module nobody has to touch again, and making the on-call rotation boring.
Right now I work at Microsoft on cloud engineering. Before that I was at Searce, running migrations and platform work for enterprise customers.

Write it down
Anything created by clicking through a console is a future outage. Terraform first, exceptions justified.
Alert on symptoms
A page should mean a user is having a bad time — not that a CPU graph crossed a line somebody picked in 2019.
Boring deploys
The best release is the one nobody notices. Small, reversible, automated, and dull by design.
Least privilege, always
Wide IAM is the debt you only find out about during the incident review. Scope it now.
02Experience
Four years, four employers, a lot of terraform apply
From a first AWS internship to cloud engineering at Microsoft.
Cloud engineering across the Azure platform — helping enterprise customers land, scale and operate workloads that cannot afford to fall over.
- Design and review Azure landing zones, identity boundaries and network topologies for enterprise customers
- Debug production incidents across compute, networking, storage and Kubernetes (AKS) at customer scale
- Automate remediation and reporting with Python and PowerShell instead of repeating manual runbooks
- Translate architecture decisions into infrastructure-as-code customers can own after handover
- Partner with product teams on recurring failure patterns so fixes land upstream, not per-customer

Things that shipped and stayed up
Migrations, platforms and automation — with the numbers that mattered.
06How I build
The shape of a system I would hand you
Not a specific customer's diagram — the pattern underneath most of them. Tap any box.

Left rail is how code gets to production. Centre is the request path. Right rail is how anyone finds out when it breaks.

Nine certifications, four providers
Five of them Google Cloud Professional level. Useful mostly because the study forced depth.
