hey, i'm kevin

infrastructure engineer who builds things that scale (and occasionally break in interesting ways)

FedRAMP-High • AWS GovCloud • Zero Trust • 7+ years making backends behave

see what i've built

about me

i'm an infrastructure engineer who loves turning messy legacy systems into clean, scalable architectures. spent the last 7+ years modernizing distributed systems, wrangling compliance (FedRAMP-High, HIPAA, PCI DSS), and building cloud-native infrastructure that actually works. currently working in AWS GovCloud on defense-critical systems, which is as serious as it sounds but also surprisingly fun.

i believe in writing code that's maintainable, systems that are observable, and documentation that doesn't make people cry. also a big fan of rust, terrible puns, and reducing deployment times from hours to minutes.

things i work with

Languages

Rust, Go, TypeScript, Deno, Python, Kotlin, C#

AWS

GovCloud, Lambda, S3, Kinesis, Glue, SageMaker, DynamoDB, Terraform, Terragrunt

Google Cloud

Cloud Run, GCE, Pub/Sub, Kubernetes

Observability

Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Structured Logging, Distributed Tracing

Compliance

FedRAMP-High, PCI DSS, HIPAA, Zero Trust Architecture

Architecture

Microservices, Serverless, IaC, CI/CD, GraphQL, Incident Response

stuff i've built

govcloud infrastructure

multi-account AWS GovCloud setup with FedRAMP-High compliance. automated governance, cost optimization, and Zero Trust identity systems for defense workloads

the 94% faster pipeline

rewrote a daily data pipeline in Rust that went from 14+ hours to 45 minutes. concurrent processing + streaming ingestion = happy data team

learn more →

monolith → microservices

transformed a struggling GraphQL monolith into serverless microservices on GCP Cloud Run. fixed scaling bottlenecks and made deploys actually work

learn more →

hipaa-compliant ml pipeline

built biometric data ingestion on AWS (S3, Kinesis, Glue, SageMaker) handling hundreds of events/sec while keeping lawyers happy

learn more →

observability that works

centralized monitoring with Prometheus & Grafana. structured logging, distributed tracing, and dashboards that actually help debug things

learn more →

24 hours → 60 minutes

modernized a legacy fulfillment platform from monolith to modular system. deployments went from a full day to under an hour
