From managing network operations centers and racking servers in hospital datacenters to architecting serverless applications at enterprise scale, I'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 a Senior Engineer III at 27Global, I architect enterprise-scale solutions that automate everything from patching thousands of instances to deploying multi-account AWS architectures with Control Tower and Organizations.
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.

I've built enterprise AWS environments from scratch multiple times. I don't need ramp-up time on your cloud stack. I've already solved the problems you're hiring for.
Every architecture I build starts with security. GuardDuty, Security Hub, automated remediation. I don't bolt security on at the end, I design it into the foundation.
I build reusable Terraform modules, CI/CD standards, and automation tooling that make entire teams more productive, not just my own work faster.
I translate between executives and engineers. I can whiteboard an architecture for a CTO and then write the Terraform to deploy it the same afternoon.
A Terminal-Based Idle Empire Builder
Build civilizations from stone tools to the stars. AgeForge is a full terminal game written in Go that runs entirely in your terminal. No browser, no install wizard, just a keyboard and a terminal wide enough to dream big.
A Cold-War Terminal Simulator
You play on a set of terminals inside a bunker system that seems to go on forever. You explore it by playing a text adventure, finding resources that let you build out your computer system, which lets you do more, faster, which reaches further into the bunker, which turns on more of the system.
A Retro-Cyberpunk Theme for the Whole Toolchain
Most themes are a color scheme for one editor and a best-effort port for everything else. Neonferatu is a single palette file and a build step: the same colors land in VS Code, Zed, iTerm2, Terminal.app, Claude Code, bat and Sublime. Colors are referenced or derived, never copied, and the build refuses to ship a palette whose contrast, accent separation or background ramp has drifted.
I'm always open to discussing new projects, creative ideas, or opportunities to be part of your vision. Feel free to reach out!
