Staff-level platform and backend engineer with 15+ years of experience building infrastructure and developer platforms that help teams ship software faster and with less operational friction. My work spans backend APIs, developer tooling, platform engineering, workload identity, deployment systems, and cloud-native infrastructure.
Most of my projects begin as side experiments. I enjoy solving problems I encounter firsthand—automating repetitive tasks, streamlining workflows, or building tools that remove unnecessary complexity. When something proves useful, I refine it, document it, and often open-source it. If it ends up helping others as well, that's a bonus.
My primary focus areas are zero-trust infrastructure, developer experience, and cloud operations. I work across Kubernetes, .NET, TypeScript, Go, and Python, with a strong emphasis on building secure, scalable, and maintainable systems that empower engineering teams to move quickly and confidently.
Zero-trust Kubernetes architecture combining workload identity, secrets management, and PKI. Built from the ground up using SPIRE and OpenBao to eliminate static secrets.
Short-lived credentials across all workloads, federated trust between services — no more shared API keys or hardcoded tokens.
open repo →Kubernetes operator for automating Valkey lifecycle, scaling, and upgrades.
Automated scaling and controlled rollouts — no more manual Redis ops during incidents.
open repo →VS Code extension that scans selected code before AI sharing — because I almost pasted secrets into a prompt once.
Catch secrets before they leave your IDE. Works on selected code or entire files.
open repo →VS Code extension for visualizing .NET DI registrations — published, ⭐6.
Stop scrolling through code to find registrations. Visual dependency graphs save debugging time.
open repo →Compare and visualize Helm chart behavior across environments.
See diffs visually instead of squinting at YAML. Used in staging/prod comparison workflows.
open repo →Schema comparison and sync for backend workflows.
Automated the database diffing task I kept doing by hand. Safer migrations, no more schema drift.
