Operator turned engineer. I scaled a field service company 375% through automation, then decided I wanted to build the infrastructure others depend on. AWS, Linux, Terraform — production grade.

// about

Built
different.

Most engineers come up through CS programs. I came up through operations — running 35+ technicians and 25 dispatchers across multiple markets, wiring together automation tools to build something that actually worked at scale.

That experience gave me something textbooks don't: I know what happens when systems fail at 2am, and I know how to build so they don't. Now I'm pursuing my B.A.S. in Information Technology at Broward College, with Cloud Security Architect as the long-term target.

Currently sitting for RHCSA EX200 on RHEL 10 in July 2025, studying for AWS CloudOps SOA-C03, and building DispatchIQ — a multitenant SaaS cancel recovery platform on AWS.

Open to Systems Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Linux Admin, and Cloud Support roles — remote or Fort Lauderdale based.

↗
DispatchIQ — Multitenant Cancel Recovery Platform
AI-driven cancel recovery SaaS for field service businesses. Built on AWS Bedrock AgentCore and LangGraph with MCP tool integration. Production VPC across multiple AZs, tenant-scoped IAM enforced at the data layer as a non-negotiable constraint. Phase 4 of 7 complete.

AWS Vulnerability Management Pipeline
Serverless detection-to-notification pipeline. Inspector feeds EventBridge rules that trigger Lambda for triage and SNS for alerting. SSH exposure eliminated via SSM Session Manager. 100% critical finding remediation at zero monthly cost.

Portfolio Infrastructure — S3 + CloudFront + CI/CD
This site. S3 + CloudFront + Route 53 provisioned entirely with Terraform. GitHub Actions pipeline syncs to S3 and invalidates CloudFront cache on every push to main. ~$2/month running cost.

EC2 + NGINX Reverse Proxy
Production-style web server provisioned with Terraform. NGINX reverse proxy in front of a Node.js app — app bound to localhost only, never directly internet-accessible. SSH locked to single IP. systemd auto-restart.
