What I do
Software engineered from design through production.
I combine a full-stack enterprise Java background with cloud architecture, DevSecOps, and SRE to deliver secure systems across the complete software lifecycle.
Software engineering
Full-stack applications and distributed services engineered across the SDLC, from system design and implementation through testing and production.
- Java 21, Spring Boot & Python
- TypeScript, React & Next.js
- APIs, search & data-intensive systems
Cloud-native architecture
Secure application architectures that modernize legacy systems with serverless platforms, container orchestration, and event-driven patterns.
- Serverless application platforms
- Container orchestration
- Event streaming, processing & search
Delivery, security & SRE
Production ownership built into the software lifecycle with automated delivery, least-privilege security, observability, and incident response.
- CI/CD & blue/green deployments
- RBAC, IAM & security hardening
- Observability & production operations
Selected outcomes
Engineering that moves the numbers.
I modernize high-stakes software from architecture through production—making systems faster, releases safer, and delivery more predictable.

Experience
A decade building and shipping production software.
From enterprise Java applications and React frontends to AWS serverless systems, I’ve led software from ideation and architecture through implementation and production.
Senior Cloud Engineer (DevSecOps)
SHLD, Inc. · Herndon, VA
Building and operating the deployment tooling and core streaming infrastructure that multiple application teams depend on to collect and disseminate data at enterprise scale.
- Architected enterprise-wide CDC pipelines with Debezium and Apache Flink for real-time platform data streaming.
- Standardized Kubernetes/OpenShift deployments with reusable Helm patterns for RBAC, ConfigMaps, and secrets.
- Built Prometheus and Alertmanager observability for stateful workloads, enabling proactive incident detection.

Technical range
Software depth. Production breadth.
My strongest work connects application code, data, delivery systems, cloud infrastructure, security, and operations into one coherent engineering practice.
Still hands-on. Java, TypeScript, Python, Bash, and SQL.

How I build
I stay close to the code and the outcome.
Strong software engineering spans the full SDLC—from design and implementation through testing, deployment, and production SRE.
I lead from the work: partnering with customers, writing code, mentoring engineers, improving delivery pipelines, and staying present through rollout and incident response. I’m particularly interested in cloud-native applications, distributed systems, and software that remains secure, observable, and maintainable in production.
