Professional Summary
Senior infrastructure and DevOps engineer with 10+ years of experience in designing resilient
automation platforms, driving org-wide CI/CD adoption, and leading cross-team engineering initiatives across
Azure and AWS. From the pit lanes of pro motorsport to org-wide enterprise level solutions, I build tools
and environments that enable low friction adoption of best practices. My focus is creating environments that
support high-reliability operations. I’ve led cross-functional platform efforts, defined deployment
standards adopted company-wide, and mentored engineers in scalable infrastructure design.
