Platform & Backend Engineer @ State Farm · Houston, TX
I build and operate distributed backend systems that serve millions of customers, Spring Boot microservices on Kubernetes, provisioned with Terraform, shipped through CI/CD, and kept reliable with real observability and SLOs. I care about the boring-in-a-good-way stuff: services that don't fall over, deploys that don't drop traffic, and infrastructure you can reason about.
🔭 Focused on distributed systems · service reliability · platform engineering
Platform: Kubernetes · Docker · Terraform · AWS · CI/CD · Prometheus/Splunk observability · SLOs Backend: Java · Spring Boot · REST APIs · distributed systems · PostgreSQL · Redis Also fluent in: Python · Node.js · React (full-stack when the job calls for it)
- infra-demo — a Spring Boot service packaged the way real platform teams ship: Docker, Kubernetes manifests (probes, HPA, hardened securityContext), Terraform, and CI/CD.
- ci-cd-pipeline-demo — a production-grade delivery pipeline: reusable workflows, matrix testing, security scanning, release automation, and staging→production promotion gates.
