If you need cloud infrastructure built, deployments automated, integrations shipped, or an environment locked down — and you need it done properly, not just planned — that's where I come in. 20 years of real engineering across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I've built things that are still running in production at NielsenIQ, Verizon, Seacoast Bank, and Data443. Not advisory work. Actual delivered infrastructure. What I build: Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps: - AWS and Azure infrastructure (VPCs, AKS, EKS, networking, IAM, hybrid connectivity, VPN gateways) - Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates — from scratch or migration - CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions, containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes) - Serverless: Lambda, Azure Functions, API Gateway, event-driven architectures - Multi-cloud design, cost optimization, cloud migration Security and Compliance: - Microsoft Sentinel, SIEM buildouts, KQL detection rules, SOAR playbooks - Zero Trust architecture: Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM, MFA enforcement - AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, IAM hardening, compliance baselines - SOC2, HIPAA, NIST, CMMC — implementation, not just gap analysis Integrations and Automation: - REST API integrations, custom connectors, middleware (Node.js, Python) - M365, Defender, Purview, Intune management and automation at scale - GCP services, multi-cloud patterns, SaaS integrations At NielsenIQ I saved $750K/year on security tooling and shipped two production Sentinel connectors now live in Microsoft's Content Hub. At Verizon and Seacoast Bank I designed Zero Trust architectures that are still running today. At Data443 I built AWS marketplace connectors that integrate with CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Cyren threat intelligence pipelines serving 500+ clients. I work US hours, communicate clearly, and I actually show up. Tampa, FL. Certs: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure Security Engineer, AWS SA Pro, AWS Security Specialty, MCSE+Security
