Cyber Security

Keeping security and observability as shift-left and forefront concerns, I've successfully implemented projects that need to adhere to strict compliance standards including SOC 2, HIPAA and PCI.

From hands-on experience with penetration testing tools and remediation to directing teams on managing risk, I have well-rounded knowledge in keeping systems and applications secure.


Cloud and Infrastructure

Managing CI/CD of SaaS solutions to multi-cloud GCP and AWS environments, I have direct experience with AWS WAF, CloudFront, EC2, S3, Google Storage and related services.

With regards to containerization, I have experience with Docker Compose, turning applications into services that are easily scaled up/down.

I have extensive experience with Linux Redhat and Debian-based systems, as well as provisioning tools such as Ansible and AWS CloudFormation.


VoIP / Telecommunications

My team was responsible for the development and operation of a critical voice communications platform that secures over $8M annual recurring revenue. The highly-performant platform manages dynamic Interactive Voice Response (IVR) applications in real time, handling hundreds of incoming calls per second using Asterisk PBX, Adhearsion, and JRuby.

I have experience with network packet capture analysis for VoIP troubleshooting, optimization and security purposes. I'm well-versed with several VoIP technologies including SIP, RTP, MRCPv2 and WebRTC.


Web Development

Well-versed with Full-stack Ruby, Python and PHP development, I have designed, implemented and maintained several significant e-commerce applications for over 20 years. I have experience with SQL-compliant databases, Redis and NoSQL solutions including ElasticSearch.

On the frontend I have experience involving React, JQuery, SASS as well as many others.

This site was made with Node.js, React, GraphQL and love.
