What I work on

Three things, mostly.

01 ·

Cloud for sensitive data

Architectures where PII and regulated workloads live. GCP for the day-job and AWS for the projects. Couldn’t avoid total complexity so now using GKE.

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 again.
