About Me

I am a Cloud Infrastructure Architect & Engineer with a deep expertise in AWS solutions, automation, and data-driven cloud optimization. Currently at Booz Allen Hamilton, I was hired to play a key role in designing and testing cloud solutions, acting as a critical link between clients and developers to ensure infrastructure needs are met. Before that, I provided L2 support and cloud engineering expertise at Presidio, where I worked with a diverse client base, optimizing AWS environments and mentoring teams on best practices. At ConvergeOne, I was a national-level SME, driving large-scale cloud initiatives, automating deployments with Terraform and CloudFormation, and helping businesses modernize their cloud presence.

My foundation in data science and machine learning complements my cloud expertise, enabling me to integrate AI/ML solutions into cloud architectures. Holding a Master of Data Science from UC Berkeley, I have hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, TensorFlow, and real-time data processing, applying these skills in projects ranging from image classification pipelines to graph database design. My B.S. in Engineering from Azusa Pacific University provided a strong technical foundation, with coursework in control systems, risk analysis, and programming that continues to influence my approach to problem-solving.

Before stepping into cloud engineering, I honed my analytical and technical skills in roles that demanded precision and adaptability. As a Satellite Operations Engineer at Northrop Grumman, I monitored spacecraft telemetry, developed data analysis tools, and ensured payload safety — an experience that strengthened my ability to manage complex systems at scale. Earlier roles at Raytheon and California Steel Industries deepened my expertise in systems engineering, automation, and instrumentation. My career began in the U.S. Navy as a Reactor Operator, where I was responsible for the operation and maintenance of nuclear reactor systems —an experience that instilled in me a disciplined, high-stakes approach to engineering and infrastructure management.

With a career spanning cloud architecture, data science, and mission-critical engineering, I bring a unique blend of expertise, leadership, and hands-on technical skills. My journey from highly regulated, high-risk environments to cutting-edge cloud solutions makes me an invaluable asset in designing scalable, secure, and innovative infrastructure solutions.
