Software Architect · Platform & Cloud Engineer

I design and operate production-grade cloud platforms — from architecture decisions to the CI/CD pipelines that ship them.

I'm a software architect and cloud platform engineer with 10+ years of experience shipping production systems, most of it spent on backend architecture, Kubernetes, and Google Cloud infrastructure.

Today I run abi group, a small consultancy where I take technical ownership of client platforms end-to-end — Kubernetes architecture, cloud migration consulting, and the CI/CD infrastructure work that keeps things running long after the kickoff meeting is forgotten.

Before consulting full-time, I spent years building and operating my own web platforms and open-source tools, some of which are still quietly serving traffic I set up long ago. I like systems that are simple enough to reason about and boring enough to trust.
