I’m a platform engineer and founder of maosproject[.]io , a cloud infrastructure platform for autonomous systems that helps teams deploy production-ready Kubernetes (EKS) environments in their own AWS accounts — complete with GitOps, monitoring, DNS, and budget guardrails — in minutes. Through my consulting work, I help startups and engineering teams: Design internal developer platforms and golden paths. Automate multi-environment EKS deployments using Terraform or Pulumi. Implement GitOps pipelines with Argo CD and CI/CD systems like GitHub Actions. Set up observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) and cost governance. Enable AI and GPU-based workloads through secure, scalable infrastructure blueprints. If you’re building or scaling your DevOps capabilities — or need a production-grade, AI-ready cloud environment — I can guide your team end-to-end: from architecture to automation. Focus Areas: AWS • EKS • Terraform • Pulumi • GitOps • ArgoCD • Cloudflare • Kubernetes Security • AI Workload Enablement • Platform Engineering Strategy
