20 years building
infrastructure at scale.

Woodhead Tech was founded on 20+ years of infrastructure engineering across three major cloud environments — starting at Rackspace in 2005 as a Linux support technician, then as a founding member of the Cloud Servers team, one of the first public cloud offerings before that term meant what it means today.

Six years at Amazon AWS followed: Premium Support, IAM Authentication infrastructure, and RDS Operations — serving as the escalation point for complex database issues across MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Oracle, and Aurora, and building high-availability infrastructure for AWS's own internal systems.

Since 2019: Salesforce GovCloud as a Systems Security Engineer — building and operating FedRAMP-compliant cloud infrastructure, leading certificate lifecycle and PKI operations, and shipping production Go tooling. The work that became Woodhead Tech grew out of the same instinct: find the manual work, automate it, and make the system legible enough that someone else can operate it.

The homelab at woodhead.tech — a five-node Proxmox cluster with Ceph storage, a Talos Kubernetes cluster, and 20+ self-hosted services, all managed with Terraform and Ansible — is where every system Woodhead Tech recommends gets prototyped first.
