After earning my degree from University of California, Santa Cruz, I've been advancing my career in cloud engineering and cybersecurity. In my current role as a Cloud Field Engineer at Canonical, I focus on deploying scalable infrastructure solutions using technologies like Kubernetes, OpenStack, Ceph, and Ubuntu. My work involves optimizing performance, automating deployments, applying any security hardening, and ensuring stable cloud environments. Beyond engineering, I enjoy watching documentaries and experimenting with new technologies in my home lab. I'm always eager to master new skills, currently diving deeper into areas like compliance rules like CIS, STIG, and AI/ML security, which continually fuel my passion for solving complex challenges.
