Let’s take these projects to market 🚀

I am a Lead Systems Architect and DevSecOps Specialist (ex-Amazon/ex-Fiserv) with over 15+ years of software architecture experience engineering high stakes infrastructure for world class organizations. My focus is simple. I design, architect, and implement reliable and redundant systems using AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform to ensure operations function without issue.

From designing new reliable systems at scale to building and deploying these systems with zero customer impact at companies like Amazon, Capital One, and Fiserv, I bridge the gap between complex engineering and bottom line business growth. I have worked with teams managing over 100+ services and applications, providing the strategic consulting and architectural direction that allows companies to move faster and ensure systems function without issue.

The Track Record
Previously, I founded a specialized AI and Software Consulting firm in Atlanta, GA, where I served as the Lead Solutions Architect and Partner to help clients achieve high level results.

Deliver Compliance That Auditors Accept: Delivered AWS controls, IaC baseline, and evidence package for a client SOC 2 Type II audit; passed first cycle.

Establish Operational Governance: Engineered autonomous cloud governance frameworks and policy as code pipelines that eliminated 60% of manual operational overhead and standardized cross team delivery.

Execute Strategic Cloud Modernization: Led the architectural transformation of legacy monolithic systems into modern, multi region cloud environments, ensuring 99.99% reliability and seamless scaling during 5x traffic surges.

Architect Revenue Systems at Scale: Directed the design of high velocity checkout architectures and promotional funnels capable of processing millions in transaction volume with zero performance degradation.

Architectural Expertise
Legacy Modernization: Leading the architectural transformation of legacy monolithic systems into modern, cloud native applications with zero downtime and significant performance gains.

Solutions Architecture: Designing and governing systems that balance the dual demands of high reliability and massive scale, ensuring redundancy and the elimination of single points of failure.

Cloud Solutions and DevSecOps: Expert level orchestration using Kubernetes (EKS), Terraform, and CloudFormation to maintain 99.99% uptime while hardening security across the entire software development lifecycle.
