About Me

I'm a Senior Cloud Engineer and Architect at 3Cloud, specializing in Azure with a customer-focused approach to designing and implementing cloud platforms. I'm passionate about how processes, people, and technology can enable organizations to fulfill their business objectives safely and productively.

Currently, I lead the discovery, architecture design, and governance of CI/CD platforms like Spacelift, facilitating the rapid deployment of global Azure Enterprise-Scale landing zones. I've developed environment-wide automation for landing zone vending that handles identity, governance, billing, source control, and pipeline management.

My expertise spans Azure and AWS cloud architecture, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud governance. I've successfully led datacenter migrations, designed secure landing zones for Fortune 500 companies, and built automation that reduces deployment time from weeks to hours.

With a background in information security from my decade of military service in the U.S. Marine Corps, I bring a security-first mindset to every cloud solution I design. I hold multiple Azure certifications including Cybersecurity Architect Expert, DevOps Engineer Expert, and AWS Solutions Architect Associate.

I'm a lifelong learner who thrives on mastering new technologies and finding innovative ways to solve complex infrastructure challenges. When I'm not architecting cloud solutions, I enjoy building automation tools and contributing to the cloud engineering community.
