About Me
I'm a cloud solutions architect with over a decade of experience designing and implementing complex infrastructure for companies like Fujitsu, Atos, and a range of freelance engagements. My work centers on GCP, Terraform infrastructure-as-code, and multi-cloud architectures — I enjoy the challenge of turning messy, legacy problems into clean, automated systems.
I hold an MBA in IT Management from National American University, which has shaped how I bridge the gap between engineering and business outcomes. When I'm not knee-deep in cloud infrastructure, I'm usually exploring the next tool or pattern that can make systems simpler and more resilient.
