• Rolled out metadata-labelling standardization across Kubernetes infrastructure, enabling dynamic owner-based service alert routing.
• Improved Observability-stack reliability — migrated Grafana and Grafana OnCall backends from SQLite to Postgres and enabled Grafana high-availability mode.
• Rolled out Gatus plus accompanying Prometheus alerts for endpoint monitoring and fast feedback to critical service teams.

• Managed multiple EKS clusters across regions, environments, and AWS accounts.
• Managed AWS and Datadog via IaC and CI/CD pipelines; managed Kubernetes services via GitOps with ArgoCD.
• Modularized IaC to keep code DRY; rolled out new services including database backends with automatic provisioning.
• Reduced Datadog spend and optimized metric collection.

• Managed multiple AWS accounts for various clients, products, and dev environments, with a mix of Terraform and CloudFormation.
• Containerized software on Fargate for high availability and automatic recovery/scaling; migrated infrastructure to reduce costs.
• Set up backups and PITR for databases; raised cloud security toward SOC 2 compliance.
• Owned RACI documentation and processes; set up monitoring to ensure uptime and reduce redundancy.

• Built new technology to gather and format data from multiple sources.
• Implemented cost savings reducing a cloud environment's cost by 35%+; imported all infrastructure to code.
• Implemented SSO for internal users; migrated EC2-hosted Docker to Fargate and optimized images.

• Helped build a banking app — turned long-lived "pet" environments into scalable, dynamic "cattle" and migrated all infrastructure to code.
• Implemented zero-downtime deployments and cut deployment time by 50%+; integrated code scanning and quality analysis into builds.
• Provided 99.99% infrastructure uptime and earned glowing security and pen-test reports.

• Inventoried desktop fleet for an acquisition and produced procurement recommendations.
• Designed and ran a phased deployment schedule minimizing disruption, with a white-glove approach to affected users.

• Administered an MDM solution for 2000+ devices, including a tested DR failover solution.
• Migrated all users to a new MDM during the Repsol acquisition; packaged/deployed apps via SCCM 2012 to 4000+ PCs.
