Cloud Architecture
Landing Zones & Design
Secure, well-architected foundations on AWS and Azure — network, identity, and guardrails done right from day one, ready to scale with you.
Hello, my name is
I am Cloud Architect
From Austin, Texas. I design secure, scalable cloud platforms on AWS and Azure — landing zones, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code. I love turning tangled estates into calm, cost-efficient systems.

My Services
Cloud Architecture
Secure, well-architected foundations on AWS and Azure — network, identity, and guardrails done right from day one, ready to scale with you.
Cloud Migration
Rehost, replatform, or refactor — I move on-prem estates to the cloud with minimal downtime, then modernize with containers and managed services.
DevOps & Automation
Terraform modules, automated pipelines, and Kubernetes platforms that let your team ship daily — with observability and rollback built in.
My Talent
Reusable modules, remote state, and policy-as-code guardrails across every environment I manage.
Twelve years across EC2, EKS, RDS, and serverless — including three enterprise landing zones from scratch.
Production EKS and AKS clusters with GitOps delivery, autoscaling, and zero-downtime deploys.
Hybrid identity, VNets, and Azure DevOps pipelines for teams standardizing on the Microsoft stack.
Automation scripts, Lambda functions, and custom operators that glue platforms together reliably.
GitHub Actions and ArgoCD pipelines with preview environments, approvals, and instant rollbacks.
My Cases
Architecture, Migration
A regulated multi-account AWS landing zone and a 60-workload migration with zero customer-facing downtime.
Security, Architecture
HIPAA-ready EKS platform with sealed secrets, audit trails, and a 40% smaller attack surface.
Migration, DevOps
Replatformed a monolith to Kubernetes with GitOps delivery — deploys went from weekly to on-demand.
Architecture, DevOps
Event-driven analytics on managed services with full observability and per-team cost visibility.
DevOps, Security
Zero-trust service mesh with automated patching across 400 edge-connected vehicle gateways.
Migration, Architecture
Lift-and-optimize of 25 learning apps to Azure, cutting hosting spend by half in one quarter.
My Story
Professional-level specialty tracks in networking, security, and databases across two years of labs.
Focus on distributed systems and networks. Senior project: a fault-tolerant file store across campus lab machines.
Certified Kubernetes Administrator plus the security specialist track — admission control, supply chain, and runtime hardening.
Own cloud strategy for 20+ clients — landing zones, migrations, and platform teams that ship with confidence.
Ran EKS fleets serving 40M requests a day. Introduced GitOps delivery and took deploys from weekly to on-demand.
Kept bare-metal estates alive — and learned exactly why everything should be cattle, not pets. Automated it all away.
What Customers Say
Luca took our tangled AWS estate and gave us a landing zone our auditors actually praised. Sixty workloads moved without a minute of customer downtime.
Sarah Lindqvist
CTO, Nimbus Bank
Deploy Fridays used to terrify us. After the GitOps rollout we ship ten times a day and sleep through the night. Worth every cent.
David Okafor
Founder, ShopFlow
The audit report paid for itself in a month — it found idle spend we had walked past for a year, plus two security gaps we fixed the same week.

Platform Lead, FleetIQ
