Building cloud infrastructure
that scales.

I'm a Cloud & DevOps engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and operating AWS-native infrastructure for high-growth startups and enterprise teams. I specialise in serverless architectures, infrastructure-as-code, and building internal developer platforms that make shipping software faster and safer.

Previously on WordPress, now building everything from scratch — because I believe in owning your tools. This site is my live experiment: Next.js, Lambda, DynamoDB, and Terraform on AWS, costing less than a coffee per month.

When I'm not tuning CloudWatch dashboards, I'm writing about what I learn along the way.
