About me
Big-picture thinking.
Hands-on delivery.
I work across architecture and operations, helping teams turn complex infrastructure into clear, repeatable platforms.
My work spans hybrid cloud, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, and site reliability. I enjoy solving the connective problems: how teams ship safely, how services recover, and how a platform can be operated consistently across many environments.
I bring a systems view to technical decisions, with attention to security, failure modes, operational load, and cost. I also bring experience leading delivery and working across engineering teams.
Cloud-native foundations
AWS, EKS, networking, identity, infrastructure as code, and hybrid cloud patterns.
Developer platforms
GitOps, Argo CD, GitLab, Jenkins, Harbor, and repeatable delivery paths.
Service reliability
SLIs, incident response, Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, and log pipelines.
Leadership and execution
Architecture direction, pragmatic roadmaps, cross-team delivery, and coaching.
Selected work
Systems built to
work in the real world.
A sample of architecture and platform work across distributed Kubernetes, observability, and cloud migration.
02 / RELIABILITYObservability
VictoriaMetrics platform migration
Led an observability platform upgrade focused on service continuity, historical data, ingress, and coordinated component updates.

GitLab deployment patterns
Built a hands-on deployment track from Docker Compose to Kubernetes, with an AWS EKS high-availability design planned as the next stage.

How I work
Good architecture
makes operations clearer.
Technology choices matter, and the way a system is operated matters just as much.
Start with the outcome
Connect service objectives to business needs, then choose the right technical signals and controls.
Make the safe path repeatable
Automate common delivery and recovery work so teams can move quickly with fewer surprises.
Design for change and failure
Plan for upgrades, capacity limits, outages, and cost before they become urgent problems.
