About Me

With over a decade in the IT industry, I bring extensive experience in designing, deploying, and managing complex infrastructures across multi-cloud and on-premises environments.

Currently a Senior Principal Site Reliability Engineer at UKG, I focus on building resilient systems, enhancing automation, and driving operational efficiency. Previously, as a Lead Consultant at AWS, I managed comprehensive cloud migration projects, leveraging AWS to modernize applications and optimize costs.

I carry a strong "automate everything" mindset to eliminate operational toil and improve system efficiency. Dedicated to collaboration and mentorship, I aim to deliver high availability and provide a seamless, customer-centric experience.
