Professional Systems
Native cloud, serverless platforms, containers, Linux and Windows VMs, cloud architecture, and deployment workflows.
Projects
Selected Project Areas
The work I want to show here spans production systems, AI engineering workflows, and the broader identity behind the work: engineer, artist, and scientist.
Areas
What Belongs Here
AI Engineering
Engineering methodologies and workflows for AI-assisted delivery, interdisciplinary integrations, model building, guardrails, and product-engineer agent workflow architecture.
Engineer, Artist & Scientist
The connective tissue across the work: systems thinking, scientific curiosity, creative construction, and hands-on making.
Examples
Current Examples
Serverless SaaS Platform
A secure, scalable SaaS platform for identity and physical access management, built with cloud-native services, event-driven architecture, CI/CD, observability, and a strong focus on team learning speed.
AI Engineering Guardrails
Practical guardrail patterns for working with AI coding agents: blocking dangerous shell operations, protecting secrets, requiring Terraform plan review, and making test verification part of the workflow.
Serverless Browser Uploads
A browser-to-S3 upload flow using a Lambda signer so the browser can POST directly to S3 without a persistent server-side upload component.
Woodworking and Reclaimed Materials
Handmade bowls, trays, and small objects from wood that could have become scrap or firewood — Brazilian hardwood, rosewood, and eucalyptus shaped into useful things.
Ninja Frame
A heavy timber frame built from reclaimed European oak railroad tracks. Hand-cut mortise-and-tenon joinery throughout — no metal fasteners in the structure.
Eucalyptus — Bowl, Shelf, Coffee Table, and Mirror Frame
Four pieces from a single fell eucalyptus tree: a hand-shaped bowl, a live-edge floating shelf, a massive cross-cut slab for a coffee table, and a large hand-carved mirror frame.
Rothschild Quarry Stone Stairs
Garden stairs dry-stacked from limestone blocks salvaged from a quarry Baron Rothschild established roughly 130 years ago — long closed, the stone available as reclaimed material.
This Website
A static personal site migrated from WordPress and LinkedIn into Astro, deployed through GitHub Actions to a private S3 bucket behind CloudFront and Route 53.
