I design, build, and maintain cloud-native systems that are scalable, resilient, and efficient. My work centers on bridging Site Reliability Engineering principles with DevOps practices to deliver infrastructure that enables rapid development without compromising reliability.
- I analyze usage data before capacity decisions—at Groups360, I reviewed six months of CPU and memory metrics before right-sizing, reducing infrastructure costs by 40%.
- I validate scaling under load before production—at Groups360, I ran k6 load tests to confirm HPA policies matched real traffic patterns.
- I design monitoring for signal quality, not volume—at Built Technologies, I built alerting for 40+ microservices focused on actionable signals, reducing incident response time by 75%.
- I enforce standards through automation—at Groups360, I used Terraform to manage 200+ repositories with consistent branch protection and CI requirements.
At Groups360, I reduced infrastructure costs by 40%, cut observability spend by 35%, and migrated EKS to Terraform IaC. I drove Argo CD GitOps adoption and automated 200+ repository configurations with Terraform.
At Built Technologies, I owned monitoring for 40+ microservices, reducing incident response time by 75%, and built test automation that cut CI/CD cycle time by 75%.
I recently built and operate UnifyOps, an internal developer platform I designed and run end-to-end. It deploys multi-service systems safely using GitOps, Kubernetes, and strict runtime isolation.
Other active projects:
- Job Scanner — An LLM-powered automation pipeline using GPT-4 for intelligent job screening, fit scoring, and automated outreach generation
- Auth Platform — A production-ready microservices authentication system with JWT flows, deployed via Helm charts to self-hosted Harbor registry
- Stack Templates — Reusable microservice scaffolding implementing three-tier architecture patterns with pre-configured CI/CD
All projects are deployed to my home lab infrastructure — bare-metal Kubernetes running on personal servers with Harbor registry, demonstrating end-to-end DevOps practices from code to production.

I earned the Built Onward Award at Built Technologies, given to less than 10% of team members for sustained impact and ownership. At Belmont University, I received the Stephen Campbell Math & Computer Science Award (one recipient per year) and made the Dean's List consistently.

Monitors and alerts
- Role type: Senior SRE, Platform Engineer, or DevOps Engineer with infrastructure ownership
- Problem space: Kubernetes platforms, observability, cost optimization, or internal developer tooling
- Ownership scope: Full ownership of production infrastructure, not just support or consulting
I'm always eager to connect with teams building reliable, scalable infrastructure. Whether you're looking for someone to own your Kubernetes platform, optimize your observability stack, or implement GitOps workflows — let's talk.
I enjoy hydroponic gardening, tennis, traveling, and exploring Nashville's food scene.
