Hi, I'm a Principal Technologist with over 20 years of experience building and scaling complex distributed systems. My journey has been anything but linear – from serving as a Combat Engineer in the US Army to architecting cloud solutions for leading companies and government agencies. I currently work at SIGHTER.io , where I’m focused on delivering cutting-edge data insights with a strong emphasis on security and scientific rigor. But also as a Principal Technical Consultant building strong cloud teams and tech stacks at AHEAD.

Throughout my career at AHEAD, AWS, Nirmata, and others, I've developed a deep expertise in cloud technologies (especially Kubernetes) and a passion for solving challenging problems. I’ve had the opportunity to work on fascinating projects like developing AI/ML platforms for the U.S. Air Force, building a proof-of-concept CBDC for the Federal Bank of Japan in conjunction with MiT, and architecting scalable solutions during critical times like the COVID-19 pandemic (supporting Zoom and Moderna for scale and science).

I'm passionate about bridging the gap between technical execution and strategic vision. I enjoy leading teams and helping clients navigate the ever-evolving landscape of cloud computing. On Medium, I’ll be sharing insights on cloud architecture, DevOps, Kubernetes, and the intersection of technology and national security.
