I specialize in AWS GovCloud, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, and advanced cloud optimization techniques.
Certified as an AWS Solutions Architect – Professional, I am passionate about empowering organizations to achieve secure digital transformations. My mission is to design innovative AWS architectures that drive performance, resilience, and cost efficiency."
Projects and Case Studies
AWS GovCloud Landing Zone for Government Clients
Architected and deployed secure cloud solutions within AWS GovCloud, creating FedRAMP High-compliant landing zones for government applications.
Enhanced regulatory compliance, improved security, and streamlined application modernization with Kubernetes (EKS) and Active Directory integration. Developed reusable terraform landing zone asset to be used in future ATO FedRAMP available at Github via CoalFire
Project 2: Cost Optimization with Instance Scheduling
Senior Infrastructure Architect at GE Aviation
Developed an EC2 instance scheduling application, automating non-production instance shutdowns during idle periods.
Achieved $500,000 in annual savings on EC2 costs, demonstrating the value of automation in cloud environments.
Project 3: Cloud Migration and Compliance for Avio Aero
Led a large-scale migration from on-premises systems to AWS, meeting stringent government data residency requirements.
Reduced operational costs by €100,000, increased flexibility with HPC for computational fluid dynamics, and enabled Avio Aero’s early adoption of the AWS Milan region.

Compliance & Governance: FedRAMP, HIPAA, NIST standards, CIS Benchmark hardening
My Approach
As a cloud architect, I strive to deliver solutions that are in the best interest for my client. Modernizing to Kubernetes isn't the best option if there is no one comfortable managing the overhead of the platform. "Meet the client where they are at" has been one of my favorite principals when working with clients. I've found that over the course of an engagement with this in mind we come to the best solutions.
Scalable: I design systems that grow with your business, ensuring seamless performance under varying workloads.
Secure: With a strong focus on compliance, I adhere to FedRAMP, HIPAA, and NIST standards to protect sensitive data.
Cost-Efficient: I optimize cloud environments to balance performance and cost, delivering value without compromise.
Collaborative: I believe in building strong partnerships with clients and mentoring team members to create lasting impact.
