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. I specialize in designing systems that scale reliably and developer experiences that reduce cognitive load.
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. This hands-on approach helps me understand both engineering challenges and user pain points deeply.
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 systems that are secure by default, observable by design, and simple to operate. I believe infrastructure should enable teams, not constrain them.
Zero-trust Kubernetes architecture combining workload identity, secrets management, and PKI. Built from the ground up using SPIRE and OpenBao to eliminate static secrets and establish cryptographic identity for all workloads.
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 with minimal operational overhead. Handles failover, backups, and version management declaratively.
Automated scaling and controlled rollouts — no more manual Redis ops during incidents.
open repo →VS Code extension that scans selected code before sharing with AI assistants. Prevents accidental credential exposure through intelligent pattern matching and entropy detection.
Catch secrets before they leave your IDE. Works on selected code or entire files with zero false positives.
open repo →VS Code extension for visualizing .NET DI registrations through interactive dependency graphs. Reduces debugging time by making service registrations explicit and explorable.
Stop scrolling through code to find registrations. Visual dependency graphs save debugging time and improve code understanding.
open repo →Tool for comparing and visualizing Helm chart behavior across environments. Generates diffs of rendered templates with contextual highlighting.
See diffs visually instead of squinting at YAML. Used in staging/prod comparison workflows for compliance verification.
open repo →Schema comparison and sync automation for PostgreSQL databases. Safely identifies and applies schema changes across environments with validation.
Automated the database diffing task I kept doing by hand. Safer migrations, no more schema drift, reduced deployment risk.
