I'm a Cloud Architect with 18+ years of progressive IT and infrastructure experience. I design and operate enterprise-grade multi-cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP — bridging architecture, DevOps, security, and IT operations.
My career has taken me from hands-on technical support through infrastructure engineering and into cloud architecture. I've built greenfield Azure landing zones from scratch, managed production Kubernetes clusters across all three major clouds, and led cloud migration initiatives end-to-end for financial services firms.
I'm currently the sole cloud architect at a financial services company, where I own the full Azure and AWS environment — architecture, governance, security, cost optimization, and day-to-day operations. I've built all infrastructure with Terraform, established CI/CD pipelines, and mentored cross-functional teams on cloud-native design.
Before moving into cloud, I spent years in enterprise infrastructure — managing thousands of VMs across VMware and Hyper-V environments, deploying HPE Synergy composable infrastructure, administering SAN storage, and reducing VM deployment times by 70% through PowerShell automation.
I started my career in technical support, where I learned the fundamentals of Windows, Linux, networking, and databases that continue to inform my architecture decisions today.
