I still remember the first time I watched a manual deployment go sideways—environment mismatches, config drift, panicked rollbacks. That moment shaped how I think about infrastructure: it should be repeatable, automated, and boring. Now, with 8+ years in the DevOps and cloud space, I help organizations build platforms that developers actually want to use. I'm obsessed with Infrastructure as Code—Terraform is my hammer for most nails—and I've spent the last few years designing multi-account AWS architectures that don't sacrifice security for speed. At Edward Jones, I helped build an Internal Developer Platform on EKS that gave 250+ engineers self-service access to infrastructure. At Prosperity Bank, we cut release failures by 60% and kept the auditors happy with PCI-DSS compliant pipelines. And yes, I've saved companies millions in cloud costs—not by flipping switches, but by helping teams understand what they're actually paying for. I believe good DevOps is invisible. When things just work, you're doing it right.
