Systems Architecture & AI Automation

Stop running your team
on manual work.

I help engineering teams cut ops toil and integrate AI into real workflows — not demos, not pilots. Systems that run in production.

The problem

Your team is capable.
Your systems are holding them back.

01

Manual toil stealing sprint capacity

Your engineers are spending hours on deploys, incident response, and runbooks that should be automated. That time belongs in your roadmap.

02

AI that doesn't connect to your systems

You've tried AI tools. They work in isolation but don't plug into your actual infrastructure. You need architecture, not another SaaS subscription.

03

Architecture decisions made without expertise

Hiring a senior systems architect full-time costs $250K+. You need that expertise for specific decisions, not a permanent headcount.

What I do

Architecture that runs.
AI that earns its keep.

I design systems that automate real operational work — the CI/CD toil, the runbook theater, the alert noise — and integrate AI where it delivers measurable throughput, not where it looks good in a slide deck.

Background: infrastructure at Rackspace, AWS IAM and RDS, a decade at Salesforce GovCloud building security tooling for FedRAMP environments. Go, Python, Bash. Terraform and Ansible. Kubernetes at scale.

Proof of work

Built, not talked about.

AI · Go · Alertmanager

AlertMind

AI-powered alert triage tool. Receives Alertmanager webhooks, enriches context, calls the Claude API for structured triage analysis, and posts to Discord — so on-call engineers arrive at an incident with a first-pass diagnosis already waiting.

Ansible · Terraform · Self-hosted

ShopStack

Complete managed infrastructure for small businesses — email, file storage, database, reverse proxy, SSO, and monitoring — deployable on a $200 mini PC or AWS/GCP. Open source under MIT. Managed setup available.

20+ services, 5-node Proxmox cluster, full IaC — running in production. Read the architecture paper →
