Experience

Owner and Chief Executive Officer - Thought Parameters LLC
Jun 2024 - Present
I blend executive leadership with deep technical expertise to build secure and high-performance infrastructure. My dual role allows me to bridge the gap between high-level business strategy and hands-on engineering. This ensures that every technical decision aligns with the vision of broader organizational goals. I specialize in leveraging Terraform to eliminate configuration drift and harden security postures while simultaneously managing the rigorous regulatory and compliance frameworks necessary to maintain a reputable federal and state level business standing. By combining DevSecOps precision with intentional resource provisioning, I deliver scalable cloud solutions that are as operationally sound as they are legally compliant.
System Engineer and Corporate Secretary - JL Miller Electric, Inc.
May 2023 - Present
In my dual role as System Engineer and Corporate Secretary at JL Miller Electric, Inc., I focus on modernizing infrastructure to better support our business operations. I conducted a comprehensive audit that allowed me to replace generic tools with specialized services, effectively reducing waste and streamlining our troubleshooting processes. To enhance our security and stability, I standardized patching and baseline configurations for both Windows and Linux environments, which significantly lowered our support ticket volume. Additionally, I migrated our corporate website to a serverless static hosting architecture. This transition improved overall site performance and reliability while also reducing our monthly operating costs.
Technical Architect - David's Bridal, Inc.
Jan 2022 - Apr 2023
Focused on scaling team capabilities and hardening our infrastructure through collaborative engineering. I directly mentored junior engineers in Nginx, log analysis, and automation, which significantly improved our team throughput and the reliability of our observability stack. By establishing documented runbooks and repeatable practices, I ensured that our technical knowledge remained accessible and sustainable. I also partnered closely with the Security and Engineering departments to embed security-by-design into our infrastructure changes. This initiative improved our overall change quality through rigorous peer reviews, comprehensive documentation, and the implementation of repeatable automation.
Senior DevOps Engineer - Fidelity Life Association
Jan 2015 - Dec 2021
During my tenure as a Senior DevOps Engineer, I drove the technical delivery for two parallel product teams by leading Agile ceremonies and bridging the gap between engineering and operations. I successfully aligned these departments on release readiness and incident response, which significantly improved CI/CD consistency and reduced delivery friction. By standardizing workflows and removing persistent blockers, I was able to prioritize reliability from the initial design phase through to production.
