About
I'm a Senior Platform Engineer based in Middle Tennessee with 15+ years of experience building cloud-native infrastructure on AWS. I work at XOi Technologies, where I help build and maintain the core platform for a field service SaaS product on AWS, spanning serverless and containerized services. Lately much of my work is agentic operations, including an automated alarm triage system built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.
Before XOi, I worked as an SRE at Eventbrite and a Senior Systems Engineer at NASBA and prior to that roles in datacenters and system administration. I worked in warehousing and drove forklifts for several years before transitioning to IT helpdesk, quickly being promoted to sysadmin and then from there architecting and building out large-scale AWS environments.
I hold the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate and DevOps Engineer Professional certifications. My primary stack is Python, Go, TypeScript, and Bash, with CloudFormation, Terraform, and Kubernetes on the infrastructure side, though I pick up whatever the problem demands.

Interests
Outside of engineering I spend time with my wife and cat, powerlifting, reading, gaming, making music in Ableton, cooking, woodworking, and collecting things. I have a ton of hobbies, some of these have pages on this site where I write about them occasionally.
