I'm a Solutions Architect who runs Primaris Tech. I work on the systems that hold up cleared, regulated, and otherwise unforgiving environments: classified Kubernetes deployments, real-time streaming for SIEM and SOAR, and CI/CD pipelines that produce audit evidence as a byproduct of shipping code.
My recent work has been in defense, the intelligence community, and aerospace. I've architected Confluent Platform deployments for the Army Regional Cyber Center, built CI/CD with continuous compliance for a USAF cyber defense unit, designed shared-services platforms for the Intelligence Community across IL4 and IL6+ in AWS GovCloud, and partnered with US STRATCOM teams to migrate legacy applications to containerized microservices. Earlier I worked at Ball Aerospace on DARPA-funded space situational awareness, including event-driven ingest of thousands of satellite messages per second and the first Kubernetes deployment on in-orbit edge hardware at Ball.
I've previously held CKA and CKAD certifications, and I've authored and delivered 15+ Kubernetes certification prep courses, plus CNCF landscape classes. I currently hold a CompTIA Security+ Certification.
How I Work
Engagements start with a discovery: sessions with stakeholders both technical and non, to ensure that the requirements are clearly laid out. I pride myself on meeting the customer where they're at, and bridging the gap to where they want to go.
Every environment and use-case has special constraints. Whether those constraints are technical or logistical in nature, I will ensure that every concern is documented and accounted for.
