Platform-minded DevOps Engineer with over a decade of experience architecting, building, and operating developer-centric platforms and resilient infrastructure. Proficient across Azure, Kubernetes, Ansible, PowerShell, and Go, I drive operational excellence by standardizing platforms and implementing robust internal tooling. I specialize in bridging the gap between development needs and operational realities, creating self-service CI/CD ecosystems. Core expertise includes GitOps methodologies, container orchestration, and comprehensive cloud infrastructure abstraction.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
- Go
- Powershell/DSC
- Ansible
- OpenTofu (Terraform)
- Kubernetes
- Docker
- Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu)
- Azure
- HTMX
- Alpine.JS
- VMWare
- Hyper-V
My career journey has provided comprehensive, hands-on experience across the entire software development lifecycle, shifting from core system administration to advanced, platform-driven DevOps engineering.
DevSecOps & Platform Engineering: I have a proven track record of modernizing software delivery pipelines by championing DevSecOps practices. This includes architecting and implementing self-service CI/CD ecosystems, managing multi-stage deployments using GitOps methodologies (e.g., ArgoCD), and ensuring robust security postures across critical applications. Core skills involve building and maintaining infrastructure-as-code using OpenTofu and Helm for deployments targeting Kubernetes.
Automation & Infrastructure: A significant portion of my expertise lies in driving operational excellence through automation. I have extensive experience standardizing environments using Ansible and PowerShell/DSC scripts for Windows server configuration. This spans managing complex cloud infrastructures, orchestrating container workflows, and building internal tooling that streamlines development velocity for engineering teams.
Full Lifecycle Development & Operations: My background covers everything from traditional systems administration and maintaining enterprise-level hardware/software stacks to modern full-stack development. This breadth allows me to bridge the gap between development needs and operational realities, whether by building supporting APIs, developing front-end features (using Go, HTMX, Alpine.js), or managing complex deployment pipelines.
