How I work

The parts that do not change between employers.

Remote and async

I work fully remote and coordinate with developers, security, and product owners in writing rather than in meetings.

Infrastructure as code first

Environments are defined in Terraform, Bicep, and ARM so a multi-tenant environment can be rebuilt from source in under 15 minutes.

Security controls in the pipeline

OIDC federated authentication, environment gating, and managed secrets are part of the pipeline, not a review step bolted on at the end.

I own the standard and the incident

I am the technical owner for platform standards, and I lead response and root-cause analysis when production breaks, across network path, firewall, DNS, and application layers.
