About
How I approach building cloud systems.
- I build AWS systems that are secure by default and observable in production.
- I like serverless-first designs, but I pick tradeoffs based on latency, cost, and ops burden.
- I write case studies that explain architecture decisions, not just screenshots.
Currently based in Halifax, NS. Open to remote roles across Canada.
