About

Hey
there.

I'm a Cloud Platform Engineer at Tokio Marine HCC in Houston, TX. I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science from The University of Texas at Dallas and have been writing code since a sophomore class in 2017.

I build cloud infrastructure, multi-agent automation pipelines, and the occasional full-stack web app. My work spans AWS, Terraform, Python, and everything in between — with a focus on making systems cheaper, faster, and safer.

Outside of work: snowboarding and film photography.

Cloud Platform Engineer

Tokio Marine HCC

Jan 2025 – Present · Houston, TX

Associate Cloud Platform Engineer (Jan 2025 – Mar 2026)

  • Developed a multi-agent automation pipeline to detect, classify, remediate, and audit cloud security misconfigurations with CI/CD-driven deployments and automated audit artifact generation.
  • Migrated containerized workloads from Amazon EKS to ECS with Fargate — 88% lower monthly costs, 100% reduction in cluster management effort, saving 160+ engineering hours per quarter.
  • Designed event-driven backend automation for CloudTrail object-level logging across 700+ S3 buckets containing PII/PHI, reducing Wiz findings 80% and cutting audit logging costs ~92% ($180K → $15K/year).
  • Analyzed 10,000+ IAM roles; drove deletion of 30% obsolete roles from production to reduce attack surface.
  • Built and scaled AutoTag — an automated metadata-enrichment service applying ownership tags to newly created resources across the organization.
