About me

DevOps engineer focused on AWS and Terraform, with Kubernetes (EKS) and security-first CI/CD on the side. I run infra across 20+ AWS accounts and like keeping things simple, driftless, and well-documented. Honest about scope: EKS is dev/staging, not prod-scale yet. Happy to talk through fit first.
