From managing network operations centers and racking servers in hospital datacenters to architecting serverless applications at enterprise scaleāI've built infrastructure across the entire evolution of modern computing.
I started in the trenches: managing NOCs, deploying fiber, building VMware clusters, and keeping 500+ virtual desktops running in healthcare environments. Then in 2017, I made the jump to cloud and never looked back. Now as a Principal DevOps Engineer, I architect enterprise-scale solutions that automate everything from patching thousands of instances to deploying multi-account AWS hub/spoke architectures.
What sets me apart? I speak both languages. I can architect a serverless application AND explain why your datacenter engineer is worried about network latency. I've debugged physical fiber connections and Lambda cold starts. I've managed Cisco firewalls and cloud-native security policies. This perspective helps me build better solutions and bridge the gap between traditional IT and cloud-native teams.
