I build cloud platforms and compliance automation in FedRAMP High environments. I work across AWS, AWS GovCloud, Azure, and GCP. If it's hard and repetitive, I make it boring.
- Provision cloud infrastructure with Terraform across AWS, AWS GovCloud, Azure, and GCP
- Deploy and manage Kubernetes workloads with Helm, Argo CD, and GitHub Actions
- Build CI/CD pipelines that replace hour-long manual processes with repeatable automation
- Add security controls with policy as code, vulnerability scanning, signed images, SBOMs, and attestations
- Build and operate a Kubernetes homelab focused on security, secrets, and learning how things fail
- If I do it twice, I automate it.
My third Kubernetes homelab iteration. Burns runs a three-node Ubuntu/K3s cluster with Terraform-managed Oracle Cloud infrastructure and Argo CD managing application deployments.
I use separate Traefik instances for public and private traffic. Tailscale handles private network access. Other services include Authentik, cert-manager, External Secrets, 1Password Connect, CloudNativePG, OpenSearch, and Fluent Bit.
A collection of hardened, reproducible container images and reusable GitHub Actions workflows.
The pipeline builds multi-architecture images, scans them with Trivy and OpenSCAP, signs them with Cosign, and publishes SBOM attestations with Syft. It currently produces SLSA Build Level 2 provenance.
