Detailed case studies of platform engineering, security, and automation work across cloud infrastructure, AI/ML, and DevOps tooling.
I designed a three-tier Terraform architecture (67 modules) that lets one engineer safely manage 6 AWS accounts, 16 environments, and 60+ microsegmented endpoints with zero static credentials and no outbound internet access.
- Terraform
- AWS
- ECS Fargate
- VPC / PrivateLink
- ALB / NLB
- AWS Systems Manager
- AWS Backup
- KMS
- Python
- Docker
- GitHub Actions
I built a single 785-line reusable GitHub Actions pipeline that enforces FIPS cryptography, dual vulnerability scanning, and SBOM attestation across all 40+ containers, eliminating the TOCTOU gap with a local OCI registry pattern.
- Chainguard
- cosign
- Trivy
- Grype
- syft
- GitHub Actions
- Docker
- FIPS 140-3
I migrated 40+ containers from Docker Swarm to AWS ECS Fargate with zero data loss and zero application code changes, using PostgreSQL logical replication as a hot standby for instant rollback.
- AWS ECS Fargate
- Docker
- PostgreSQL
- Terraform
- FluentBit
I built a suite of GitOps tools, from a declarative PaaS deployment system managing 40+ containers to a self-service deployment manager at 98% test coverage, all designed to let a small team operate like a large one.
- Python
- FastAPI
- HTMX
- OctoDNS
- GitHub Actions
- Docker
- Playwright
- pytest
I made Google Workspace the single source of truth for access across 10+ systems and built a differential Kong config engine that treats gateway state as code, delivering 15+ branded login experiences from one Keycloak deployment.
- Kong
- Keycloak
- Lua
- Google Workspace
- AWS Identity Center
- oauth2-proxy
- opkssh
- SCIM
I collapsed 12+ per-brand Docker builds (50-60 min) into a single image that resolves brand identity at startup in ~200ms, replacing 650 lines of shell scripts with 1,341 lines of tested Go tooling.
- Go
- Docker
- Flutter
- Nginx
- GitHub Actions
- CloudFront
- S3
I led a distributed team of 4-7 engineers through an 18-month FedRAMP authorization while building structured knowledge-sharing sessions that took engineers from zero cloud security experience to independently deploying regulated infrastructure.
- Team Leadership
- Technical Writing
- Performance Management
- Knowledge Transfer
- Stakeholder Communication
- Incident Management
I built a PII-safe analytics pipeline replicating 25+ production tables with schema drift detection, eliminating direct production database access for analysts while keeping observability across all 40+ ECS tasks.
- Python
- AWS Glue
- PostgreSQL
- Zabbix
- FluentBit
- Kinesis Firehose
- Apache Superset
- Matomo
I built 16 Terraform modules composing a complete AI stack (Bedrock, SageMaker, pgvector) with production guardrails, delivering sub-second RAG search and multi-step AI flows under the same compliance controls as the core platform.
- AWS Bedrock
- SageMaker
- Terraform
- Python
- Lambda
- pgvector
- LangChain
- Docker
I implemented three MDM protocols (Apple, Windows SyncML, Android) at the wire level in a single Go binary (~60K lines), with a PostgreSQL event bus and HTMX dashboard proving enrollment burst handling at scale.
- Go
- PostgreSQL
- HTMX
- Tailwind CSS
- Keycloak
- Playwright
- k6
- Docker
I built a Python pipeline that consolidates vulnerability data from 3 APIs into a unified dashboard with SLA tracking, validated by 28 property-based tests ensuring merge correctness across arbitrary inputs.
- Python
- Hypothesis
- pytest
- GitHub API
- Jira API
- Google Sheets API
- OIDC
- ThreadPoolExecutor
