Projects

Some things I've built.

Modernizing how millions of payments get processed

Rebuilt a legacy batch system from the ground up as cloud-based, serverless infrastructure. The self-healing design catches and recovers from failures on its own.

Migrating secrets management at scale

Led a team of contractors migrating secrets to AWS Secrets Manager across 20+ repositories, including IAM analysis and cross-team coordination. Built a reusable Java implementation with the AWS SDK adopted across teams.

Reducing AWS account blast radius

Helped break infrastructure into smaller AWS accounts to limit how far a failure or security issue can spread. Provisioned S3 buckets, security groups, and network interfaces, and coordinated planning across teams.
