Summary

Platform engineer focused on developer experience, reliable delivery, and low-toil operations. I turn fragile deployment paths, local-dev friction, and tribal operational knowledge into systems teams can trust so developers can focus on shipping value instead of fighting the machinery.

Professional Experience

Platform & Infrastructure Engineer — Motion / Wonderly

Apr 2025 – Jun 2026
  • Built and maintained CI/CD tooling for large TypeScript and .NET monorepos, improving the speed, reliability, and clarity of developer feedback.
  • Operated Kubernetes and GCP infrastructure with Helm, Kustomize, ArgoCD, Pulumi, and GCP Secret Manager.
  • Improved CircleCI, WCI, Dagger, and GitHub workflows for safer delivery, clearer failures, and lower operational toil.
  • Built oncall-bot, an AI-assisted incident workflow for root-cause analysis and remediation that helped resolve 40 infrastructure issues in one week through focused PRs.

Selected Proof Points

Developer friction: Repeatedly turned fragile deployment and local-development paths into clearer tools, workflows, and paved roads.

Production operations: Worked across observability, incident response, on-call support, and recovery in startup, product, and regulated banking environments.
