Key Strengths
- Designed and implemented standardized AWS reference architecture and Terraform IaC across environments
- Modernized legacy manually provisioned infrastructure; reduced configuration drift and improved security posture

- Strong Terraform PR review discipline (state management, IAM least privilege, module reuse, tagging/naming standards)
- Translates technical initiatives into business outcomes (audit risk reduction, faster onboarding, fewer vulnerabilities)
- Turns ambiguous stakeholder problems into measurable deliverables (latency/correctness/ownership framing; defined “done” via metrics)
- Event-driven migration experience with Kafka (incremental migration, DLQ, lag monitoring) improving data reliability
- Owned production incident end-to-end (Kafka lag); stabilized, identified root cause, optimized processing/schema/retries, added preventive guardrails
- Player-coach leadership with ongoing technical depth via PRs, architecture working sessions, incident participation, and metrics reviews
- Structured people management (bi-weekly 1:1s, behavior-based feedback, underperformance turnaround, stretch assignments tied to promotion criteria)
