Cloud Physicist
Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer
I work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, GPU workloads, and cost optimization. By day I'm a Senior DevOps/Platform engineer; by curiosity I'm a cloud physicist — experimenting with how to run AI/ML workloads faster, cheaper, and more reliably across providers.
