What I do
I work across cloud platforms and architecture on AWS, Azure, and multi-cloud. My deepest work is in stateful systems like Cassandra, MongoDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. I focus on the high-stakes calls, the security and guardrails teams run on.
01
Decide
Build the business case, weigh the risk, pick the approach that survives production.
02
Prove
Set the bar for evidence with real benchmarks in a controlled environment, not assumptions.
03
Scale
Turn the result into a repeatable standard the team owns and builds on.
