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.
