Cloud Architect & Systems Builder
From emergency medicine to cloud infrastructure, I solve complex problems in high-stakes environments where failure has consequences.
Currently: Senior Cloud Architect & Forward Deployed Engineer at DoIT International. Building Open Hardware Manager, Stringboard, and production agentic AI systems.
Who can make this? OHM matches open hardware designs to real workshops — federated nodes you can run yourself, not another central marketplace.
Local-first platform for data journalism. AI-assisted analysis of leaked datasets without exposing sources to cloud infrastructure.
Enterprise GenAI built for real production constraints — healthcare, SaaS, and fintech systems that had to survive contact with actual users.
Open-source MCP server for privacy-preserving AI analysis. Models get metadata and aggregates — never raw content.
repo-map: codebase comprehension agents can grep instead of reading whole. lesson: turns a correction into an enforceable hook, lint rule, or skill so the same mistake can't recur. Plus more Claude Code skills for cleaner agentic development.
Most engineers optimize for performance or scale. I optimize for impact in environments where failure has consequences.
When supply chains collapse, distributed capacity exists but lacks coordination.
Open Hardware Manager
Journalists need secure tools to investigate corruption without compromising sources.
Stringboard
Enterprises need AI systems that actually work in production under real constraints.
Production AI Systems
15 years: Emergency medicine, welding, heavy equipment operation, large-scale event production
7 years: DevOps engineer → Senior Cloud Architect → Forward Deployed Engineer
What transferred: Crisis management, systems thinking, operational discipline, precision under pressure
