// Work With Me

The engineer who can also explain it.

I architect and secure cloud systems — then make them make sense to the people who depend on them. Consulting, security reviews, documentation, and talks.

What I can help with

Cloud Architecture & Infrastructure

Design and build AWS infrastructure as code — S3, CloudFront, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, provisioned with Terraform. Cost-aware, documented, and built to hand off.

Cloud Security Reviews

A clear-eyed look at your architecture and configurations for security gaps — then the risks explained in language your whole team, not just the engineers, can act on.

Technical Documentation & Communication

Turn complex systems into documentation, runbooks, and explanations people actually read — so your infrastructure survives the people who built it.

Speaking & Workshops

Talks and hands-on sessions on cloud, security, systems thinking, and breaking into tech — for teams, communities, and events.

// How I Work

A calm, four-step rhythm.

01

Understand

I start by listening — to the system, the team, and what success actually means here.

02

Design

I map the simplest architecture that meets the need, and explain the trade-offs in plain terms.

03

Build or Advise

I build it with Terraform, or guide your team to — whichever serves you best.

04

Document

I leave behind documentation that outlasts me, so nothing lives only in one person's head.

// On pricing

I keep it straight. Defined pieces — a security review, a documentation sprint, a talk — are quoted at a flat rate once I understand the scope. Ongoing work, we’ll find a fair arrangement together. And if you’re early-stage, a community, or doing something that matters more than it pays, let’s still talk. I keep room for that.
