HOW I BUILD

Infrastructure that is version-controlled, observable and repeatable.

I treat infrastructure like software: define it in code, review it, automate delivery and monitor the result.

ABOUT ME

Engineering cloud infrastructure with clarity and purpose.

I design, automate and support AWS infrastructure with a strong focus on security, reliability, cost awareness and maintainability.

My experience spans cloud networking, identity and access management, monitoring, high availability, disaster recovery and CI/CD automation. I enjoy translating business requirements into practical cloud solutions that are well documented and easy for teams to operate.

Alongside my technical background, I bring more than ten years of commercial experience across operations, finance and technology — giving me a strong understanding of stakeholder needs, business impact and ownership.
