About
I turn complex infrastructure into dependable systems.
I'm a Senior DevOps and Cloud Engineer with 6+ years of experience building reliable, scalable AWS infrastructure for modern distributed systems. I've worked across fintech and healthcare environments, turning manual fragile processes into automated, production-ready systems.
Selected Work
Built for real production environments
PreApply
Terraform risk scoring that flags blast-radius issues before deployment.
PreApply solves a common DevOps blind spot: risky infrastructure changes hidden inside large Terraform plans. It matters because teams can fail fast in CI/CD before production impact. The technically interesting part is deterministic scoring logic that combines data-loss, security, and cost signals without needing cloud-side APIs.

Open projectSaaSInfraLab
Reference architecture for multi-tenant SaaS workloads on AWS EKS.
This project addresses the complexity of building secure multi-tenant platforms from scratch. It matters because teams can reuse battle-tested patterns for tenancy, networking, and release management. The technical depth comes from modular Terraform, GitOps-driven deployments, and schema-level tenant isolation design.

Open projectOllama Infra CLI
Offline AI tooling for DevOps workflows in security-first environments.
Ollama Infra CLI solves the challenge of using AI in restricted or air-gapped environments. It matters for regulated teams that cannot send infra data to external services. What makes it interesting is local-model integration, terminal-first workflow design, and prompt patterns tuned specifically for infrastructure troubleshooting.

Case Studies
Deep dives into architecture and outcomes
PreApply - Terraform Risk Gate
Problem
Teams were applying infrastructure changes without a clear way to quantify blast radius or policy risk.
Architecture
CLI-first analyzer that parses Terraform plan output and runs deterministic multi-factor risk scoring before apply.
Tools
Python, Terraform plan JSON, CI/CD pipeline integration, optional local Ollama
Outcome and Metrics
Safer deployments with earlier risk visibility and stronger release confidence in pull request workflows. 2K+ downloads, used in 37 countries, and teams report substantially fewer risky infrastructure approvals
SaaSInfraLab - Multi-Tenant Platform Blueprint
Problem
Engineering teams needed a reusable architecture for secure tenant isolation and repeatable SaaS delivery on Kubernetes.
Architecture
Modular Terraform foundations plus GitOps-driven app delivery on EKS with schema-per-tenant data isolation.
Tools
AWS EKS, Terraform modules, ArgoCD, Helm, PostgreSQL
Outcome and Metrics
Reduced setup ambiguity and gave teams a practical path to ship multi-tenant infrastructure faster. 5-repository modular ecosystem and architecture patterns that can reduce platform setup cycles by weeks
