20+ Years Building AWS Infrastructure and Cloud-Native Products.

Situation

Siemens needed a multi-region Customer Experience Portal built end-to-end — AWS infrastructure, TypeScript full-stack application, and CI/CD — for a mission-critical global product launch.

What I Built

• •Designed and built the multi-region AWS platform — ECS Fargate, RDS Aurora, multi-environment patterns — using AWS CDK.
• •Architected the full-stack TypeScript product: Next.js frontend, Node.js APIs, Prisma ORM, and GraphQL (AppSync) patterns.
• •Owned GitHub Actions CI/CD with blue-green deployments, Vitest/Playwright quality gates, and CloudWatch/OpenSearch observability.

Business Outcomes

• •99.99% uptime on a mission-critical global platform
• •75% faster deployment cycles
• •30% infrastructure cost reduction through FinOps discipline

What I Left Behind

Production-ready multi-region platform, CDK infrastructure, documented TypeScript architecture, and CI/CD pipelines the team could run and extend.

Situation

Atlas Air was migrating 1,000+ servers into a multi-account AWS landing zone and needed Bedrock-ready architecture so generative AI could follow without rework.

What I Built

• •Architected the multi-account AWS landing zone — Cloud WAN, Direct Connect, hybrid connectivity, and IaC (CDK + Terraform).
• •Designed Bedrock governance: least-privilege IAM, model invocation logging, cost controls, and patterns for future RAG pipelines.
• •Built serverless data pipelines (Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge) and security guardrails (WAF, inspection VPCs, CyberArk RBAC).

Business Outcomes

• •1,000+ servers migrated to a production-ready AWS footprint
• •Bedrock-ready multi-account governance before AI scale
• •Projected $30k+ storage savings via FSx for NetApp ONTAP modernization

What I Left Behind

A production-ready AWS landing zone, documented AI/Bedrock governance, IaC patterns, and serverless pipeline foundations the internal team could carry forward.

Situation

Carrier was launching Abound — a global IoT SaaS Building Management System — and needed a serverless TypeScript platform that could scale to millions of connected devices from day one.

What I Built

• •Built the event-driven serverless stack: IoT Core, Kinesis, TypeScript Lambdas, EventBridge, Step Functions, DynamoDB, Timestream, and Neptune.
• •Wrote AWS CDK (TypeScript) for all service deployments and designed GraphQL (AppSync) APIs for the React/TypeScript operations console.
• •Established Okta B2B identity, least-privilege IAM, and data pipelines (Kinesis → Lambda → S3) as the foundation for future ML/predictive analytics.

Business Outcomes

• •Successful launch of a global IoT SaaS BMS platform
• •Serverless architecture that scaled elastically with device demand
• •40% cost reduction vs. traditional server-managed approaches

What I Left Behind

A production IoT SaaS platform, reusable CDK constructs, documented serverless architecture, and an operations console teams could evolve.

Situation

Kubota was stuck on expensive, inflexible IBM on-premises systems and needed a cloud migration plus application modernization — monoliths to microservices and serverless — to regain delivery speed.

What I Built

• •Architected the cloud migration off legacy IBM, including phased cutovers and multi-region platform design with hybrid connectivity.
• •Modernized applications into microservices and serverless functions (Node.js/TypeScript), establishing event-driven and API-first patterns.
• •Built CI/CD with automated testing gates and an observability stack so delivery moved from monthly to weekly cycles.

Business Outcomes

• •100% performance improvement on modernized applications
• •30% reduction in infrastructure costs
• •Deployment cycles accelerated from monthly to weekly

What I Left Behind

A modernized cloud footprint, microservices/serverless patterns, CI/CD pipelines, and a roadmap for remaining legacy decommissioning.
