With over fifteen years of experience leading infrastructure and platform engineering teams at the director level, I bring a depth of real-world knowledge that goes far beyond textbook concepts. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and an AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate certification. My career has spanned finance, SaaS, and startup environments, where I have been responsible for designing, building, and scaling cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices from the ground up. This range of experience means I can teach not just the "how" but the "why" behind the tools and decisions that matter in production systems.
Mentoring has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career. As a director, I have managed and mentored teams of over twenty people, and I take particular pride in having developed junior engineers into confident, capable managers. I have also participated in formal mentorship programs outside of my direct reports. Through this experience, I have learned that the best way to help someone grow is to meet them where they are, break complex topics into manageable pieces, and connect abstract ideas to practical, real-world scenarios they can relate to.
