About
After leaving law school, I redirected toward software engineering and cloud infrastructure. My work emphasizes reliability, reproducibility, and operational awareness across the software development lifecycle.
Currently at Snorkel AI as a DevOps Engineer, running DevSecOps pipelines, Kubernetes blue-green deployments on AKS, and event-driven AWS remediation. Independently building Azure FinOps tooling, production monitoring, and Zero Trust identity infrastructure.
Focus
Cloud Foundations & Governance
Multi-account and multi-subscription foundations built in Terraform: OU and management group hierarchies, SCP and Azure Policy guardrails, hub-spoke networking, account vending, and centralized audit logging.
FinOps & Cost Engineering
Cost visibility built as software on both clouds: anomaly detection against rolling baselines, spend forecasting, tagging compliance for attribution, and scale-to-zero patterns that keep idle cost near nothing.
Resilience & Incident Response
Systems that answer failure without a human in the hot path: cross-region failover with automated database promotion, alarm-driven remediation, and AI-assisted incident runbooks, all verified against live cloud breakage.
Platform & DevSecOps
Paved roads on Kubernetes across both clouds: GitOps reconciliation, self-service infrastructure APIs, admission policy, and CI/CD pipelines gated on SAST, container scanning, and DAST before anything deploys.
Data Platform Engineering
The storage, catalog, transformation, and governance layers data teams build on: serverless lakehouses and medallion architecture across both clouds, dbt analytics engineering with data-quality test gates, and columnar Parquet that cuts query scan cost, all in Terraform with keyless, least-privilege access.
