DevOps Lead

Specializing in Cloud and OnPrem Architecture, AI/ML Workflows, and Data Systems that Scale.

I have been working on web apps for over 14 years (God help me). I like to make everything around building applications as easy as possible — AI has done a lot to accelerate my process (read more here) and I really want to help empower other people to create faster as well. Hit me up and let's see what we can work on together!

Core Competencies

Hybrid Infra

Expertise across AWS, Azure, and Digital Ocean plus on-prem Proxmox virtualization. Proficient in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), Kubernetes orchestration, and Helm charting for reproducible deployments anywhere they need to run.

DevOps Automation

Building comprehensive CI/CD pipelines (Github/Gitlab/Azure DevOps) and implementing GitOps workflows with ArgoCD. Focused on reliability, scalability, and developer efficiency.

Strong Communication

Translating between engineers, stakeholders, and leadership without losing the plot. Clear documentation, honest status updates, and explaining complex infrastructure decisions in terms anyone can act on.

AI and Data Workflows

Hands-on AI infrastructure built and battle-tested in my homelab: GPU passthrough, self-hosted LLM inference (Ollama/vLLM), in-browser WebGPU models, and right-sized data pipelines for containerized AI workloads.

Steady Leadership

Leading teams through migrations, incidents, and changing priorities while keeping people calm and unblocked. Mentoring engineers, setting realistic expectations, and owning outcomes good or bad.

Cost Optimization

Right-sizing infrastructure before it right-sizes the budget. Auditing cloud spend, eliminating idle resources, and knowing when on-prem or a smaller instance does the job just as well.
