Senior DevOps Engineer at Johnson Controls | CS Student at ASU

I grew up on the command line — starting with a used Tandy 286 running MS-DOS in the early 90s. These days I design and maintain large-scale microservice architectures on Azure Cloud using AKS and FluxCD, and I'm building AI-powered diagnostic tooling using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

• Building MCP-based diagnostic servers that give AI models structured access to real-time infrastructure state
• Developing approaches to AI observability using MCP architectures as a control plane for Azure resources
• Writing Go-based infrastructure tooling for monitoring, diagnostics, and operational workflows
• Completing my BS in Computer Science at Arizona State University (Fulton Schools of Engineering)
• 📖 Reading AI Engineering (Chip Huyen, O'Reilly) and Introduction to Classical and Quantum Computing
