About

About Me

My career has given me a unique perspective, from managing on-prem servers to architecting multi-cloud environments. While my experience as a Director provided strategic insight, my true passion is being the hands-on engineer who designs and codes the solutions that solve the toughest infrastructure problems.

As a technical expert who has architected cloud migrations, enhanced system reliability with Kubernetes, and engineered six-figure cost savings, I bring deep understanding of multi-cloud environments (Azure and AWS) and hands-on experience integrating modern AI solutions into the DevOps lifecycle, including deploying local LLMs and building AI-driven automation systems.

My approach centers on building robust, scalable systems from the ground up. Whether it's writing complex PowerShell automation, architecting Terraform infrastructure, or developing full-stack applications that solve operational challenges, I thrive on turning complex technical requirements into elegant, working solutions.

AI in DevOps & Innovation

I am adept at integrating modern AI solutions to improve security, efficiency, and development processes. My hands-on experience goes beyond foundational knowledge and includes:

MCP Server Development

Building custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and a Docker MCP Gateway to integrate AI with enterprise APIs including ClickUp, VMware, and proprietary systems.

AI Platform Integration

Integrating MCP servers with Claude, Gemini, Windsurf, Cursor, and Google Antigravity. Experience with Azure AI and AWS Bedrock platforms.

RAG & Fine-tuning

Implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and fine-tuning models for enterprise use cases with proprietary data.

Local AI Infrastructure

Deploying OpenWebUI and local LLM infrastructure on hybrid Kubernetes clusters for secure, self-hosted AI environments with full control over data and inference.

Craft

Software Craftsmanship & Best Practices

Effective DevOps is built on a foundation of high-quality, reliable code and repeatable processes. I have extensive experience implementing and enforcing best practices across the development lifecycle.

PowerShell Testing

Writing comprehensive unit and integration tests for PowerShell using the Pester framework to ensure all automation scripts are robust, reliable, and error-free.

Git Strategy & Governance

Defining and implementing Git branching strategies (like GitFlow), establishing rigorous code review standards, and enforcing quality gates with automated pre-merge checks to maintain a clean and stable codebase.
