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.
I hold a degree from Rochester Institute of Technology in Imaging and Photographic Technology, which has enhanced my technical perspective with a unique analytical approach to problem-solving.
Outside of work, I maintain active involvement in the tech community and pursue strategic hobbies like billiards, where the precision and forward-thinking required complement my professional mindset. This combination of technical expertise and analytical thinking allows me to bring a well-rounded perspective to infrastructure challenges.
I share my life with my wonderful partner, creating a home where we blend our professional interests with our personal passions. This balance of career focus and personal fulfillment helps me bring a well-rounded perspective to everything I do.
