I'm a DevOps/Platform/Site Reliability Engineer near Cleveland. I have ~10 years experience with the platform stuff, and I was a Mac/iOS developer for a few years prior to that. I have a BA in CS (there's a story as to why I didn't get a BS Eng). I currently have a public trust clearance and should be able to get higher without issue.

I thrive on anything in the SDLC – developer experience, CI/CD, test automation, you name it. I recently led a small team that modernized a major product for the Department of Veterans Affairs, completing the migration in under a year, cutting deployment time, adding integrated tests, reducing incidents, increasing observability, complying with everything we need to comply with, etc.

I love digging into complex systems, eliminating headaches, and creating environments where teams feel confident and empowered.
