About

I build the infrastructure nobody has to think about.

Engineer, open-source builder, and the person behind Atlas Crew. Based in Tampa Bay. I've spent my career walking into broken infrastructure and rebuilding it into something that runs without me.

Background
I've been the first infrastructure hire at three companies. Each time, the same story: legacy systems held together with scripts and tribal knowledge, one person who understood the deploy process, and a team that had stopped expecting it to improve.
That's the problem I solve. I absorb the context, rebuild the platform, document everything, and hand it off. At every company, the infrastructure I built outlasted me — running in production long after I moved on. That's the point.
Along the way, I started building open-source tools for the problems I kept hitting: security testing, career intelligence, AI-augmented development. Those side projects became real products — Horizon, Inferno Lab, Facet, Cortex — and Atlas Crew became the umbrella that ties them together.
The Path
2022–26

A10 Networks / ThreatX

Senior Platform Engineer. Inherited a SaaS platform with no IaC. Migrated everything to Terraform-managed EKS with GitOps. Cut AWS spend by ~$60K/mo. Built Horizon when the legacy codebase couldn't carry the weight.

2018–21

Vispero

Senior Platform / Build Engineer. First platform developer in a newly created role across four acquired companies. Built a cross-platform build DSL, automated 600+ pipelines. When ransomware hit, engineering kept shipping because everything was already in AWS.

2014–18

Earlier Work

Systems administration, IT infrastructure, networking. The foundation that makes everything else possible — understanding the full stack from bare metal to application layer.

Atlas Crew
Atlas Crew started as a consulting identity and grew into something larger: a home for the products, tools, and frameworks I build in the open.

Why "Atlas Crew"

The name is personal. My middle name is Crew. And my great-great uncle was Charles Atlas — the strongman who built an empire on the idea that anyone could become stronger than they thought possible.

Atlas holds up the world. Crew is the team that does the work. Infrastructure engineering is exactly that — carrying the weight so everyone else can move fast without thinking about what's underneath. The family connection wasn't planned, but it fits.

Everything under Atlas Crew ships with the same philosophy: build it to run without you, document it like you're leaving tomorrow, and open-source it so the next person doesn't have to start from zero.

Principles
Ownership

Build It to Outlast You

Everything I build is designed to run without me from day one. Documentation, runbooks, monitoring. If it requires tribal knowledge to operate, it's not done.

Craft

Ship, Don't Demo

Working software in production beats slide decks. I'd rather show you the running system than walk you through the plan for one.

Openness

Open Source by Default

Every major project under Atlas Crew is open source. The best infrastructure work compounds when other people can build on it.

Pragmatism

Solve the Actual Problem

Start from what's broken, not from what's trendy. The right tool is the one that fixes the problem in front of you, not the one with the most stars on GitHub.
