* Rebuilt an AI startup’s execution layer as an ECS platform for up to 20K test runs/day capable of running 200 parallel runs 5× faster * Built a threat-detection product that cleared 100+ critical/high risks for an e-signature client and cut its incident response by 84% * Turned rough briefs from 62 discovery calls into customised end-to-end system architecture proposals for 12+ clients across AdTech, FinTech and EdTech * Designed ~70 GTM automations as workflows for our in-house LLM agent, with guardrail tests, and evaluated its outputs with known-answer spot checks and a scoring rubric two reviewers must agree on for ≥9 of 10 leads * Mentored 10+ new hires and led a team of 5+ SDEs & SEs through tight deadlines, reviewing 150+ pull requests for client production implementations

* Owned an education group's go-live off managed Kubernetes across 14 milestones: zero-disruption cutover with 30-min canary releases and auto-rollback, then hypercare and handover; bill −43% with 15% faster responses * Shift-left quality: Added end-to-end integration tests and wired them into our CodePipeline workflow, turning every commit into a deploy-with-confidence event. * 68% cost-cut win: Parsed AWS Cost & Usage Reports with Glue + Athena, wrote advanced SQL to trace runaway spend to specific services & tags, and led the remediation plan. * Zero-touch IAM provisioning: Built a Git-versioned JSON spec that grants fine-grained roles across any number of AWS accounts; minutes to audit or roll back access. * Lake Formation deep dive: Correlated CloudTrail and LF permissions to surface anomalous data-lake activity, tightening security posture for multiple enterprise tenants. * Green-field delivery in 2 weeks: Designed and shipped a full VPC-based backend (Step Functions, Node.js Lambdas, ACM, S3, DynamoDB) with a production-grade CI/CD path—100% IaC via CloudFormation CDK.

* Designed the company’s first REST platform – published OpenAPI 3.0 specs and stood up both customer-facing and internal APIs on Amazon API Gateway. * Provisioned a complete serverless backend in one AWS CDK (Java) stack: Docker-based Lambda functions, SQS queues, SNS topics, S3 buckets, and DynamoDB tables wired with IAM least-privilege policies. Environment spin-up ⟶ < 5 min, fully reproducible. * Built a CI/CD pipeline with CodePipeline + CodeBuild that auto-promotes from beta to prod; release cycle shrank from hours to minutes, zero downtime. * Baked in security & observability – encrypted data at rest, parameter-store secrets, CloudWatch metrics/alarms, and structured JSON logging. * Impact: Enabled the product MVP launch four weeks early and laid the groundwork for the 68% AWS cost-optimizations delivered later as a full-time SDE.

I fix bills that auto-scale.

About

I tame AWS so our customers can scale without sticker shock. Founding Engineer & SDE 1 – first hire at a cloud consultancy that fixes AWS headaches. Upto 68% bill reductions delivered via Lifecycle Configurations, Savings Plans/RI strategy, and ruthless rightsizing. End-to-end builder – rolled out a secure, multi-account landing zone (VPC, ECS, RDS, Lambda, CDK pipelines) from green-field to production in two weeks. Security-first mindset – least-privilege IAM, guard-railed IaC, automated compliance checks baked into every deploy. I live for clean architectures, cost graphs that slope downward, and customers who can finally sleep on billing day. Let’s connect and talk shop.
