About Me

I am an experienced Platform, Devops, and Software Automation Engineer with 15 years of experience dedicated to transforming development workflows into highly efficient, reliable, and scalable systems. My expertise lies in bridging the gap between development and operations--automating everything from code deployment and infrastructure provisioning (IaC) to monitoring. I thrive on designing and implementing modern architectures that ensure high availability, security, and velocity for engineering teams.

Most of my career has been spent in the Healthcare Industry. I started as tech support in a consulting firm, and eventually found myself as a Junior SCM at Becton Dickinson. I grew very quickly in this role because they were growing rapidly and needed deployment pipelines that could keep pace. I enjoyed the challenge and absorbed everything I could about automation.
