I operate at the intersection of systems administration, cloud engineering, DevOps, and security. Over seven years I've built and run production infrastructure end-to-end — from administering 3,500-node enterprise networks and Active Directory estates, to architecting AWS landing zones, automating delivery with Terraform and GitHub Actions, and orchestrating workloads on Kubernetes. I traced a live AWS account compromise through CloudTrail, contained it, and recovered the full spend from AWS. I cut monthly AWS spend by 52.4% through disciplined right-sizing and FinOps. I lead with a senior consultant's lens: clear trade-offs, measurable outcomes, and security gated into every layer — not bolted on after.
