About Me

My journey and philosophy in engineering.

I thrive on the challenge of building and securing robust infrastructure. My experience has taken me from managing complex Kubernetes ecosystems to architecting secure identity platforms on AWS. I am driven by the principles of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), believing that automation is key to achieving both speed and reliability.

Whether it's optimizing cloud costs, developing custom CLI tools to improve operational efficiency, or mentoring junior engineers, I am committed to continuous improvement and fostering a culture of technical excellence. I enjoy bridging the gap between platform engineering and security, ensuring that systems are not only scalable but also secure by design.
