01About

I'm a Lead Cloud Developer with 8+ years automating and scaling multi-account AWS platforms in high-availability, regulated environments. I currently run a multi-tenant platform spanning 400+ customer systems across 4 AWS accounts and 4 regions, using Terraform, GitLab CI/CD, and Ansible — with a focus on observability, resilient backup/restore automation, and performance at scale.

Infrastructure work

AWS Backup & Restore Pipeline

Problem:
Manual, inconsistent backup/restore processes for RDS and FSx across a multi-account fleet.
Approach:
Built a GitLab CI pipeline driving Terraform to standardize backups and restores, with maintenance-window scheduling.
Outcome:
Repeatable, auditable backup/restore across 400+ customer systems.

EFS/FSx Performance Tuning

Problem:
Slow file transfer speeds impacting customer workloads.
Approach:
Diagnosed throughput bottlenecks and tuned EFS/FSx configuration; planned an FSx for Windows migration.
Outcome:
Measurable transfer-speed improvements and a clearer migration path.

AI-Powered Alert Intelligence Agent

Problem:
Alert triage across the platform was manual and slow to resolve.
Approach:
Prototyped an AI agent (IOA) backed by a Known Fix Library to suggest resolutions for incoming alerts.
Outcome:
Proof of concept for faster, more consistent incident response.
