What I do

I design and operate high-scale cloud platforms: reliable, observable, secure, cost-aware, and automation-heavy.

In the last ~5 years I’ve focused on architecture and platform engineering:

  • Cloud & hybrid architecture across AWS / Azure / (some GCP)
  • DevOps & IaC: repeatable environments, CI/CD, infrastructure orchestration
  • SRE/operations mindset: monitoring, alerting, backups/DR, incident readiness
  • Data & distributed systems: large-scale pipelines, storage, and reliability patterns
  • AI for Ops: internal agents, automation tools, architecture copilots

I also support a foundation with engineering/infra work (systems, automation, reliability).


Current focus: BioTech transition 🧬

I’m actively transitioning into biotech / computational biology infrastructure, learning and experimenting with:

  • Protein structure & modeling: AlphaFold/OpenFold concepts and workflows
  • Biological data: NCBI datasets, metadata/provenance, genomics basics
  • ML infrastructure: Vertex AI patterns (and cloud ML equivalents)
  • Scale + reproducibility: pipelines, provenance, and “audit-ready” execution

My angle is: build the platform + automation layer that makes biotech compute reproducible, scalable, and secure.


TaxonomyTech Solutions (Co-Founder / CTO)

I’m building TaxonomyTech Solutions, a deeptech biotech initiative focused on:

  • Molecular Modeling & Simulation
    Build and analyze 3D molecular models to understand structures and behavior, supporting drug/therapy discovery.

  • Biological Data Analysis (Genomics / Proteomics)
    Large-scale sequence analysis, expression insights, variant workflows (client-wetlab optional).

  • Process Automation
    Automated pipelines for research and biotech operations, reducing repetitive work and improving accuracy.

  • Molecular Taxonomic Analysis
    Bioinformatics-based processing to understand molecular relationships and classification.

The approach blends synthetic biology + computational modeling + AI/ML and is designed to run efficiently on cloud (AWS-first).
Partnerships and collaborations are welcome — research institutes, biotech teams, and companies building in this space.

Observability

Data / Big Data / Pipelines

“Systems I’ve shipped on” (incl. internal platforms)

  • Apache Spark pipelines, large-scale ETL, reliability hardening
  • KV / storage ecosystems (incl. internal stacks like RocksStore / RocksStoreWideColumn)
  • Service and metrics platforms (incl. internal systems like Aperture / Counter)
  • GitOps patterns with Argo CD, multi-cloud orchestration, cost controls

Architecture principles

  • Design for failure: redundancy, safe deploys, graceful degradation
  • Everything is observable: metrics + logs + traces + meaningful SLOs
  • Automation by default: if it’s repeated, it’s codified
  • Cost-aware engineering: scale and keep cloud spend predictable
  • Documentation matters: runbooks, diagrams, “why” captured next to “how”

Highlights (recent-ish experience)

  • Cloud architecture for production platforms (AWS/Azure/hybrid)
  • Containerized deployments (Docker/Kubernetes), plus Nomad/k3s where it fits
  • CI/CD at scale (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, TeamCity)
  • DR + backups across regions, plus incident readiness & monitoring stacks
  • Data pipelines and infra automation for high-throughput systems
