Platform / DevOps Engineer with backend depth, focused on CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, production reliability, and application-aware platform work.

I started on the application side — .NET APIs, SQL optimization, and keeping brownfield systems stable across healthcare, finance, and biotech. These days I work closer to how software ships and stays running: Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, deployment safety, and production readiness.

Based in Toronto. Interested in Platform Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, and SRE-leaning roles.

Platform     →  Terraform/OpenTofu, Kubernetes, GitOps, ArgoCD, Docker, Linux
CI/CD        →  GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, PR gates, release automation
Cloud        →  GCP, AWS (EC2, S3, RDS), Azure, Workload Identity Federation
Backend      →  Python, FastAPI, Go, C#, .NET, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, GraphQL
Reliability  →  production support, SQL performance, deployment safety, observability basics

• GitOps-Managed AI Platform on GCP
  Production-style platform project using Terraform/OpenTofu, GCP, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Artifact Registry, Workload Identity Federation, and GitOps delivery patterns.

• content-i18n
  Go-based CLI and MCP-compatible developer tooling for reliable multilingual content workflows, validation, provider fallback, and AI-assisted review.

• Infrastructure — Migrated a startup from AWS to GCP using Terraform with identity-based CI/CD authentication and dev/prod environment separation. Cut provisioning from 2+ hours to under 10 minutes.
• CI/CD & deployment — Hardened pipelines on GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and self-hosted GitLab CE with PR quality gates, Terraform plan/apply workflows, deploy-on-merge workflows, and scoped secrets.
• Production reliability — Kept live platforms stable across healthcare, finance, and biotech, handled 8+ critical issues a year, and moved a reporting path from app-layer processing to database-native execution: 3 min → 4 sec.
• Backend — Built Python/FastAPI services with double-entry bookkeeping for data integrity and Shopify GraphQL integration. Earlier career: .NET APIs across healthcare, finance, and research clients.

• Exactly 2 cups of black coffee a day. Non-negotiable.
• Mid-tier FPS player — Valorant keeps the reflexes sharp between deploys.
• Always tinkering with gadgets and software plugins. My desk is basically a mini lab.
