About
I build platforms that let engineering teams ship faster and sleep better.
17 years in IT. 9+ deep in Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, and CI/CD. I focus on developer experience, self-service platforms, and observability — the things that let teams move fast without breaking things.
CTO at Aura X Capital — architecting the platform end-to-end for a DeFi/FinTech product with 350k+ users and 1.2B+ transactions.
Previously at GlobalDots — DevOps as a Service across FinTech, AI Security, and Government. CI/CD platforms for 100+ microservices, observability stacks, GitOps with the Argo family.
