    Fractional CISO and Infrastructure Consultant
    Apr 2025 - Current (1 year 6 months)
    Acting as Emotivo’s fractional CISO and infrastructure lead — driving SOC 2 and HIPAA readiness, tightening IAM policies, and reducing security exposure across the stack. Replaced ad-hoc infrastructure with reusable AWS CDK modules to support consistent multi-environment deployments. Strengthened GitLab CI/CD pipelines to improve developer velocity and visibility, while standing up structured risk management and vulnerability remediation workflows.

    Jun 2022 - Mar 2025 (2 years 10 months)
    Built and maintained the company’s AWS platform using Pulumi (TypeScript) and modern infrastructure-as-code practices. Designed and delivered core infrastructure — VPC, EKS, Aurora RDS, API Gateway, CloudFront, and Route 53 — to support secure, scalable application environments. Automated CI/CD pipelines across GitHub Actions, Harness, and Buildkite, and rolled out OpenTelemetry + DataDog observability. Implemented secure authentication flows and automated file-transfer pipelines (AWS Transfer Family + GPG) to reduce manual effort and improve reliability.
  • Kyndi
    Engineering Manager, Core and Platform Team
    Kyndi
    Jul 2019 - Jun 2022 (3 years)
    Led the Core & Platform team through Kyndi’s migration to AWS. Introduced zero-trust security with Zscaler, augmented Chef + Terraform IaC with Jenkins + Ansible, and containerized workloads with Docker + Kubernetes + Helm — improving scalability and cutting costs significantly. Focused on building sustainable pipelines, mentoring engineers, and tightening release and compliance processes (GDPR, CIS 7.0). The end result was a more secure, reproducible platform and a stronger DevOps culture.

    Built and scale distributed data systems at Cision, Attensity, and Polivec, focusing on Kafka-based data ingestion, Hadoop / Elasticsearch pipelines, and compliance tooling for large enterprise environments. I started my career at AT&T as a full-stack Java developer supporting internal engineering projects — a foundation that still shapes how I think about reliability and maintainability today.
