My work sits at the intersection of infrastructure, security, automation, and human-centered technology—ensuring platforms not only function well, but serve people effectively. In my current DevOps work, I support production environments using AWS, AWS-CDK, Terraform, Splunk, Wiz, OpsGenie, JFrog, Prisma, and Snyk, contributing to cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, security monitoring, and incident response with a strong emphasis on reliability and scalability. Alongside my infrastructure work, I bring a strong full-stack engineering foundation, enabling me to understand how applications are built, deployed, and maintained end-to-end. This allows me to collaborate effectively with developers, security teams, and product stakeholders to create systems that are both resilient and user-focused. I am also pursuing a degree in Secondary Education with a concentration in Mathematics, reflecting my commitment to making technical knowledge more accessible. I believe engineering and education are deeply connected—both are about breaking down complexity, building confidence, and creating pathways for growth. Whether mentoring, teaching, or building systems, I aim to help others thrive in technical spaces. Before transitioning into tech, I served as an Assistant Director, Main Office Coordinator, and Teaching Artist, where I built teams, supported learners, and strengthened operational systems. These experiences continue to shape how I collaborate, advocate, and build inclusive, people-centered technology. 🔧TECHNICAL SKILLS: ____________________ DevOps & Cloud AWS | AWS-CDK | Terraform | Splunk | Wiz | OpsGenie | JFrog | Prisma | Snyk PROGRAMMING/SOFTWARE: Node.js | Restful APIs | Git | VS Code | Firebase | Postico | Postman | Github| Netlify | Render | ElephantSQL FRONT END: HTML | Javascript | React.js | Struts CSS | React Bootstrap | Tailwind | SASS BACK END: Express.js | PostgreSQL OPERATIONS/ADMINISTRATION: Microsoft Suite | Google Workplace | Slack | Jira/Trello | Zoom | ATS | Sesis
Actively participate in daily stand-up meetings, effectively communicating the status of tickets spanning front-end (React, Strut), back-end (Java, SQL), and database technologies.
