01 · about

Infra that ships,
customers that stay.

I work where infrastructure engineering meets customer-facing delivery: turning business requirements into landing zones, CI/CD pipelines, IAM controls, and Kubernetes platforms, while owning onboarding, technical enablement, and demos.

I'm hands-on daily with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi), containers, and multi-cloud automation across AWS, GCP, and Azure. A green pipeline isn't the goal; I measure my work by adoption, reliability, and results the customer can point to.

Currently a Forward Deployed Engineer at StackGen, embedded with enterprise customers from discovery and scoping through production rollout.
