Featured Projects

Detailed case studies of platform engineering, security, and automation work across cloud infrastructure, AI/ML, and DevOps tooling.

Cloud Platform Infrastructure

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

Supply Chain Security & FedRAMP Compliance

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

Container Orchestration & Platform Migration

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

DevOps Automation & Tooling

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

API Gateway & Identity Architecture

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

Multi-Brand Application Delivery

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

Leadership & Technical Communication

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

Data Analytics & Observability

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

AI/ML & Intelligent Systems

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

Multi-Platform Device Management

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

Vulnerability Consolidation System

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
