Who I Am (and why it matters)
I’m a principal architect focused on reliable, observable, cost-efficient systems. I bridge technology and business: SLAs/SLOs, security, and TCO/ROI. With 22+ years in IT, I see architecture as both engineering and craft — what I call The Music of Systems.

What I Do
Core capabilities aligned to business outcomes. Every service is tied to measurable impact — faster delivery, lower cost, reduced risk.
Architecture
On-prem, cloud, hybrid; reliability, scale, cost controls.
- Multi-region designs
- Networking & security baselines
- Migration & modernization
DevOps & Automation
CI/CD, IaC (Terraform/Ansible), GitOps, platform engineering.
- Golden images/base layers
- Policy as code
- Release safety (progressive delivery)
SRE & Observability
SLO/SLI, incident response, on-call hygiene.
- Metrics/logs/traces
- Runbooks & MTTR↓
- Capacity mgmt
Security & Governance
Least privilege, hardening, ISO/SOC2/GDPR practices.
Business & Strategy
FinOps, TCO/ROI, modernization roadmaps aligned with OKRs.
How I Work
- Discover → assess risks, constraints, economics
- Design → architecture, security, observability, cost guardrails
- Pilot → validate SLOs, performance, cost
- Scale → automate, codify, document
- Operate → measure, improve, transfer
Engagements include clear deliverables, runbooks, and decision logs.
