In My Own Words
“Knowing how these systems work with other systems, and which tools and sub-products should be chosen and not used — that’s a big part of it. I can steer clients away from technology that looks like it might work but won’t actually work for their application.” Full transcript on the AWS page.

My homelab is both a workshop and a proving ground.
Kubernetes systems
Container orchestration platforms schedule workloads, manage service discovery, and enforce desired state across clusters of compute resources.
Microservices Platform Modernization (EKS, ArgoCD, Helm)
Revised the 2014 container platform in 2018 onto EKS, ArgoCD, Helm, and GitHub Actions — moving from hand-run deployments to declarative, GitOps-driven delivery.
NGINX

Photo Sharing Site — Self-Hosted
Built and ran a self-hosted photo sharing platform before cloud storage made it trivial — covering web dev, storage, auth, and the enduring question of how to make a growing photo library actually useful.
Praxis — The Magnolia Homelab
A 4-node Proxmox cluster running Kubernetes, Ceph, site-to-site VPNs to AWS, GitOps pipelines, and a full observability stack — built to test every architecture I recommend to clients.
