I have a broad cloud/platform background with recent hands-on AWS delivery: Terraform, ECS Fargate, RDS, VPC, KMS, IAM/ABAC, and secure GitHub OIDC-based CI/CD. Enterprise-proven at FedEx through a $500M modernization initiative, with independent work spanning AWS infrastructure, ETL/data pipelines, and production GenAI.

About

Cloud engineer who ships.

I'm a cloud & data engineer with 5+ years shipping production systems across enterprise cloud, DevOps, backend, and data platforms. At FedEx I've worked inside a $500M mainframe-retirement initiative, helped move mission-critical Freight systems toward modern cloud and platform engineering patterns, led the org's first Jenkins→GitHub Actions migration, and maintained 13 enterprise Java/Spring Boot applications.

Outside of that I apply that cloud/platform background to recent hands-on AWS delivery: a multi-tenant platform provisioned with Terraform across isolated stage and prod VPCs, with per-tenant KMS encryption, ABAC task roles, and secure OIDC deploys. I also ship enterprise data pipelines and Anthropic-powered software with production infrastructure, release workflows, and observability.

Based in Waco, TX. AWS certifications in progress (Cloud Practitioner and Solutions Architect Associate, 2026). I'm looking for a cloud, data, or AWS-consulting role where I can take solutions from architecture to production.

FedEx · Promoted Intern → Dev I → Dev II

Jun 2021 – Present · 5 yrs

Remote

  • Led the organization's first migration from Jenkins to GitHub Actions across ~15 applications, standardizing automated CI/CD and a build-once-promote release flow that became the template for future conversions.
  • Contributed to a $500M mainframe-retirement initiative, moving mission-critical FedEx Freight systems from legacy infrastructure toward modern cloud and platform engineering patterns.
  • Administered 13 enterprise Java/Spring Boot apps across configuration, security patching, identity/access controls, and production troubleshooting; improved maintainability and raised test coverage to 80% across production services.
  • Automated safe, auditable Git repository migration workflows during FedEx Freight's multi-billion-dollar corporate separation.
  • Drove DevOps modernization (retired 90+ redundant config-server instances) and presented roadmaps to 400+ stakeholders.

Independent Cloud & Data Consultant

Light Works Studio · client engagements & self-built products

2024 – Present

Remote

  • AWS platform & Orqestrate: Applied cloud/platform engineering experience to design and deploy a multi-tenant AWS platform end-to-end in Terraform (ECS Fargate, RDS Postgres, S3/EFS, VPC, ALB) with KMS per-tenant encryption, IAM/ABAC, and secure GitHub OIDC-based CI/CD across two isolated environments. Built an Anthropic-powered platform that runs containerized AI workloads in isolated ECS Fargate workers.
  • DMP client engagement: Built an enterprise email-to-ERP data pipeline in Python, processing ~220 purchase orders/day into Epicor. Designed the ingestion flow, validation controls, schema migrations, and human-in-the-loop exception handling.
