Infrastructure from scratch. Compliance through production. Team to run it.
I joined a healthcare SaaS company as the sole infrastructure person, built the AWS platform from zero, grew the DevOps team, and led them through FedRAMP authorization. The compliance posture passed assessment on the first attempt.
Before this: 7 years as a Senior Systems Administrator deploying video conferencing infrastructure for UK government (AWS, CloudFormation, Direct Connect into secure datacenters) and managing enterprise networks. Before that: Manhattan SCALE WMS deployments for logistics companies (GE, Haier, SCI Logistics, Canada Cartage). 20 years of infrastructure work across healthcare, government, and supply chain.
I designed a three-tier Terraform architecture (67 modules) that lets one engineer safely manage 6 AWS accounts, 16 environments, and 60+ microsegmented endpoints with zero static credentials and no outbound internet access.
I built a single 785-line reusable GitHub Actions pipeline that enforces FIPS cryptography, dual vulnerability scanning, and SBOM attestation across all 40+ containers, eliminating the TOCTOU gap with a local OCI registry pattern.
I migrated 40+ containers from Docker Swarm to AWS ECS Fargate with zero data loss and zero application code changes, using PostgreSQL logical replication as a hot standby for instant rollback.
I led a distributed team of 4-7 engineers through an 18-month FedRAMP authorization while building structured knowledge-sharing sessions that took engineers from zero cloud security experience to independently deploying regulated infrastructure.
