Engineering that stays useful after launch

Reliable software,
practical infrastructure,
cleaner delivery.

I work across DevOps, web applications, APIs, and product delivery. The goal is straightforward: build systems that are easier to ship, easier to maintain, and easier to trust.

What I do

I help teams ship software that's easier to run and easier to evolve.

The work sits at the overlap of infrastructure, application engineering, and practical architecture — systems that are clear to extend, reasonable to support, and grounded in how the product actually gets used.

Infrastructure

DevOps with product context

Cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment work shaped around the application it supports — not treated as a separate exercise.

Engineering

Software built to last

Web applications, APIs, CMS platforms, and iOS work with an emphasis on clean structure, maintainability, and steady iteration.

Delivery

Practical over performative

Clear tradeoffs, direct communication, and shipping the version that solves the real problem first.

DevOps

Infrastructure & delivery

Recent work has centered on infrastructure, deployment pipelines, monitoring, and operational reliability, with AWS at the center of the stack.

  • AWS
  • Jenkins
  • Docker
  • Terraform
  • Kubernetes
  • Cloudflare
  • New Relic
  • PagerDuty

Engineering

Applications & platforms

Full-stack product work: APIs, CMS tools, internal platforms, and customer-facing applications — planned, built, reviewed, and supported.

  • PHP
  • Laravel
  • JavaScript
  • REST APIs
  • Swift
  • iOS
  • Testing
  • Git

What I've done

Hands-on across infrastructure, applications, and delivery.

Mostly systems where reliability, maintainability, and delivery speed all matter at once: infrastructure, APIs, web applications, CMS platforms, and internal tooling.

  1. DevOps Engineer

    Infrastructure, deployment, and monitoring work centered on reliability and repeatable delivery.

    • Build and maintain production infrastructure.
    • Own CI/CD workflows and deployment automation.
    • Work heavily in AWS and the surrounding operational stack.
    • Support monitoring, delivery, and day-to-day reliability.
    • 24/7 on-call: debugging incidents and restoring service through everything from database failures to regional outages.
  2. Software Engineer

    Product and platform engineering across APIs, CMS tools, internal systems, and customer-facing applications.

    • Plan and build features across full-stack systems.
    • Turn business requirements into practical technical solutions.
    • Build APIs, CMS tools, internal platforms, and custom applications.
    • Ship newer work with Vercel, Supabase, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.
    • Improve code quality through testing, reviews, and cleaner architecture.
    • Mentor developers and help shape technical direction.
  3. Web Developer / Multimedia Specialist

    Web, mobile, and interface work mixing implementation with internal support.

    • Built web interfaces, internal applications, and mobile features.
    • Supported UI and UX decisions for internal tools.
    • Helped teams work faster through training and internal support.
  4. Web Developer

    Early client-facing web development grounded in implementation, communication, and delivery.

    • Built websites and applications on a traditional LAMP-style stack.
    • Worked directly with clients on planning and implementation.
    • Helped shape content and marketing around audience needs.

Off the clock

Things I keep watching.

Two long-running lists — movies I return to and TV I think about after it ends. Poster walls, nothing more.

Let's build something that stays maintainable.
