“Infrastructure/Platform-focused engineering leader who led a large-scale AWS modernization, standardizing Terraform IaC and embedding security/policy validation into CI/CD to reduce drift and improve auditability. Also delivered data reliability improvements by incrementally migrating key integrations to an event-driven Kafka model with DLQs and lag monitoring, and has hands-on incident leadership using observability tooling (New Relic).”

“Infrastructure/DevOps engineer (Geico) focused on AWS and Kubernetes at production scale. Has hands-on experience building secure GitHub Actions CI/CD for EKS, provisioning core AWS infrastructure with Terraform/CDK, and leading end-to-end incident response with post-incident automation to prevent recurrence; no direct IBM Power/AIX/PowerHA experience.”

“Built and shipped AI-powered workflow automation at Oracle, including an MCP-based agentic workflow with tool-calling and guardrails, plus Grafana monitoring and Confluence documentation. Also led a Django monolith-to-microservices migration at Chamsmobile using blue-green deployment and load balancer traffic splitting to avoid regressions while modernizing production systems.”
