Professional Biography
Professional Summary
DevOps / Platform Engineer focused on building scalable, automated, and observable infrastructure across cloud and hybrid environments. I cover the full platform lifecycle—Kubernetes orchestration, AWS architecture, containerization, CI/CD, observability, and migration of legacy systems into reproducible services. My background in cybersecurity and technical support keeps reliability, hardening, and troubleshooting at the center of every design decision.
Today I split my time between founding DF MARKET-SOLUTIONS LLC, delivering product-ready infrastructure for clients, and supporting a cybersecurity startup with secure deployment workflows. I also experiment with AI-assisted tooling and workflow automation as accelerators for scripting, documentation, and planning.
