I design, build and run AWS systems for teams that need them to work in production.
About

How I build and run AWS systems for clients.
- 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.
- AWS Certified x3
- Security-first
- Observability built-in
- IaC: CDK/CloudFormation
