Executive Summary
Cloud engineer with seven years on Amazon Web Services, most of it at an insurance carrier where every account has to survive an audit. Builds landing zones, writes Terraform other people can read, and treats a cost anomaly as a design problem rather than a billing one.
Signature Achievements
- Rebuilt the multiaccount structure into a governed landing zone covering 62 accounts with guardrails applied at the organization level.
- Cut monthly Amazon Web Services spend by 340,000 dollars a year through rightsizing, savings plans and killing eleven idle environments.
- Moved 90 percent of infrastructure into Terraform modules and ended manual console changes in production.
- Reduced provisioning time for a new application environment from nine days to two hours.
- Closed 47 findings from the annual security review by writing the controls into the module library rather than fixing accounts one at a time.
