Hi, I'm a backend-leaning software engineer. I've worked for Rescale and Squid Cloud.

Professionally, I specialize in deployments, DevOps, cloud, automation, DevEx, and linux. I like python, javascript, and shell scripting. I've been using Arch Linux (btw) for about 10 years now and the colemak keyboard layout.

On my own time, I make games and web-based utilities. You can find a gallery of my personal projects below. Everything below is created and maintained by yours truly. Ech entry inculdes a link to both the deployed app and the source code (MIT licensed).

CNAF on AWS Govcloud

Infrastructure
Jun 2022
AWS, Cloudformation

While I was at Rescale, a customer needed a new strict allowlist firewalling their cloud compute VPC in AWS Govcloud. Using CloudFormation templates and Cohesive Network's VNS3, I created a working solution to manage exactly what traffic could exit and enter the VPC without disrupting their workflows and security requirements. This closed a 6 figure deal with a large aerospae company.
