The Staff Engineer's Path
What I work on
Three things, mostly.
01 ·
Cloud for sensitive data
Architectures where PII and regulated workloads live. AWS, day-job and otherwise. KMS, IAM scoping, network isolation.
02 ·
Compliance, pragmatically
PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2 — not as a checkbox exercise, but as something an engineering team can actually live with.
03 ·
High-stakes operations
The boring tuesday-night work: backups, runbooks, on-call hygiene, blameless postmortems. The reason your weekend is yours.
