I'm a DevSecOps Engineer securing cloud infrastructure at a Level 1 PCI-DSS payment processor. My day-to-day work spans GCP, Azure, Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD, in an environment where every change has to hold up in production and pass an audit.

Before cloud, I worked in enterprise networking and systems administration in healthcare and banking, where reliability isn't optional. That background still shapes how I build. I focus on infrastructure as code, repeatable deployments, and security controls that are automated rather than remembered. If something is done more than twice, it should be automated.

Outside of work, I publish free cloud and IaC training, starting with HashiCorp Terraform Associate, and I'm currently working toward the CKA.
