• Design and operate a two-node production Kubernetes (k3s) platform spanning a cloud VPS and homelab; manage infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible and deploy applications through GitOps and Argo CD.
• Own Kubernetes observability and incident response with Grafana Alloy and Grafana Cloud; separate node and cluster collectors reduce retained kube-state-metrics series from 11,990 to 459 (96.2%) and eliminate duplicate metrics, logs, and events.
• Build and maintain CI/CD for Kubernetes applications with GitHub Actions, GHCR, Kustomize, and Argo CD, promoting immutable images through preview and production with health checks and rollback paths.
• Manage Cloudflare infrastructure for 10 public and private hostnames across 2 tunnels, using Access, DNS, TLS, Workers, KV, an MCP server portal, and an R2-backed CDN while keeping Kubernetes services off direct public IPs.

• Build and operate a full-stack career platform that turns structured work records into weekly updates, performance-review drafts, promotion summaries, and professional outreach.
• Model accomplishments, projects, goals, metrics, contacts, and interactions with PostgreSQL, Prisma, and Auth.js; enforce user-scoped access and secure data export and deletion while isolating preview and production across separate Kubernetes environments and Neon database branches.
• Expose 50+ product operations to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other assistants through Streamable HTTP MCP, backed by a custom OAuth 2.1 provider with PKCE, scoped tokens, rate limiting, and idempotent writes.
