Engineering the cloud,
one cluster at a time

I'm an Azure Kubernetes Engineer at Microsoft based in Seattle, WA, where I deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters on AKS — ensuring high availability, scalability, and reliability for containerized applications at scale.

With a Master's in Cyber Security and hands-on experience across Microsoft, Apple, and Domino's, I bring a unique blend of infrastructure engineering, DevOps practices, and security-first thinking to every system I build.
