Cloud Focused (DevOps, Solutions Architect, Security) | Kubernetes Admin | Web Developer
I’m the DevOps Engineer at Apptoto, where I’ve spent more than 7 years designing and maintaining the cloud infrastructure that keeps millions of appointment messages flowing reliably. Before Apptoto, I spent 11 years as a software engineer at G5, where I helped migrate thousands of client websites to Kubernetes and rebuilt the platform’s content management system. All told, I’ve been building and running production software for over 25 years.
I led Apptoto through its SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 certifications, implemented the security policies and controls behind our HIPAA-compliant messaging, and manage the AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure our clients’ businesses depend on every day.
