Washington DC-Baltimore Area
With nearly two decades in tech, I steered Platform Engineering at Remine, guided engineers to ship faster, safer code. In the last five years I drove our ISO 27001 certification, cut AWS spend by $30k, and lifted delivery velocity 20 % by tightening CI/CD and DevOps practices. Earlier stints at Axios, The Atlantic, and Al Jazeera sharpened my knack for scaling cloud infrastructure and nurturing high-trust teams. My stack—Python, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, PostgreSQL, AWS—backs a passion for cost-smart, secure architecture. I translate geek-speak into boardroom value and mentor future leaders. If you’re tackling growth, compliance, or optimization, let’s connect.
