Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals Microsoft · September 2022

A Systems & DevOps Engineer passionate about building reliable, automated cloud infrastructure — from ephemeral environments to production-grade CI/CD pipelines.

With over 5 years of hands-on experience spanning Developer Analyst, DevOps Engineer, and Systems Engineer roles, I've developed a deep command of the full infrastructure lifecycle. My work spans cloud-native architectures on Azure, Infrastructure-as-Code with Terraform and Ansible, container orchestration with Kubernetes and Docker, and observability stacks with Prometheus, Grafana, and Dynatrace.

I thrive at the intersection of engineering rigour and operational pragmatism — designing systems that are not only automated and repeatable, but built to last. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from Purdue University and am a certified Microsoft Azure professional.
