Senior Infrastructure Engineer
Specializing in Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps
About Me
I'm a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with over 15 years of experience in cloud architecture and DevOps. I specialize in infrastructure systems, cloud migrations, and maintaining mission-critical systems for high-growth tech companies.
As an infrastructure specialist, I focus on designing robust, scalable systems that support enterprise applications and services. My expertise includes containerization, Kubernetes orchestration, and implementing CI/CD pipelines for streamlined deployments. I leverage Python and Bash extensively for automation and infrastructure management.
My foundation is built on extensive datacenter experience, managing everything from physical hardware to virtualization layers. This hands-on background with physical infrastructure gives me unique insight when architecting cloud solutions, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and security across all infrastructure layers.
Throughout my career, I've led multiple cloud migration initiatives and implemented DevOps practices that significantly improved deployment frequency and system reliability. I'm passionate about building infrastructure that balances performance, security, and cost-efficiency.
Outside of work, I try to keep up to date with technology through personal projects and client work. As time allows and strictly during off hours from my full-time job, I focus on doing consulting work for Ethrys, a DevOps consulting company that I started with two former colleagues.
In my personal time, I enjoy photography which I studied at Rochester Institute of Technology. I share my life with my wonderful partner, creating a home where we blend our professional interests with our personal passions.
