About

Background, tools, credentials, the usual.

Started at Amazon, training ML models for product defect detection. Learned how production systems behave at scale. Got hooked on infrastructure.

Moved to IbexLabs in 2020. Three years of building AWS infrastructure with Terraform, containerizing apps on ECS Fargate, running CI/CD pipelines, and doing Well-Architected reviews. Shipped a real-time analytics pipeline (Pinpoint + Kinesis + QuickSight) for a healthcare platform. Migrated an enterprise from on-prem AD to Azure AD with zero downtime. That one was fun.

At 9Acts Cloud Solutions since 2023, mostly doing Kubernetes. EC2 to EKS migrations, multi-account AWS architectures for fintech, Rancher clusters, GitHub Actions pipelines. Put together a Grafana + Prometheus + Loki stack that cut incident detection time by 60%.

Somewhere along the way, started DailyDeploy, a cloud and DevOps consultancy for startups and mid-size companies.
