About

A bit about me

I'm a Software Development Engineer at AWS Secrets Manager, working across the open-source client library ecosystem (Java, Go, Python, .NET, Rust, Node.js) and core service infrastructure. My work spans post-quantum cryptography rollouts, large-scale secrets migrations, and building the validation platforms that regression-gate production releases. Before AWS, I worked across pricing automation, ed-tech platforms, real-time traffic systems, and enterprise software — always drawn to the intersection of distributed systems, security, and developer tooling. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Florida.

Nov 2024 — Present

Seattle, WA, USA

Led a post-quantum TLS rollout across 8 open-source AWS Secrets Manager client libraries, protecting millions of API calls against "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks, coordinating a cross-team, cross-language effort.
Migrated the Kubernetes Secrets Store CSI Driver Provider from AWS Go SDK v1 to v2 ahead of end-of-support, preserving IRSA and Pod Identity authentication for existing customers.
Diagnosed and eliminated a production outage caused by stale credential caching in aws-secretsmanager-jdbc, shipping a fix across five database/proxy targets to Maven Central.
Identified, patched, and responsibly disclosed a security vulnerability in an open-source client library, shipping a hardened release to Maven Central.
Owned a zero-downtime migration of ~45,000 cryptographic key records across 28 AWS regions as part of a multi-year, Amazon-wide secrets consolidation effort.
Designed and built an end-to-end validation platform that regression-gates every AWS Secrets Manager Agent release using synthetic customer traffic across multiple partitions.
