About Me

Cloud Observability Engineer • AWS Reliability, FinOps & Infrastructure as Code

Engineering Background

I'm George, a Cloud Observability Engineer with 5 years of experience running production systems, with the last 2+ years dedicated exclusively to enterprise-scale AWS environments.

I specialize in keeping cloud systems dependable, observable, and economically sane. Rather than relying on guesswork during high-stakes outages, I design automated telemetry pipelines and event-driven architectures that catch anomalies early, alert with actionable context, and recover services automatically.

I believe in public building and transparent technical communication. I regularly publish open-source tooling, document post-mortems, and share hands-on architectural learnings across my blog.

Proven Production Impact

Real, verified outcomes delivered in production enterprise environments:

40% Cut MTTR Engineered event-driven automated remediation using AWS Lambda, Step Functions, and Amazon EventBridge.
25% Reduced Log Volume Redesigned Splunk telemetry ingestion, filtering noise at the edge and significantly lowering observability licensing costs.
30% Reduced Downtime Implemented proactive synthetic monitoring, early-warning SLO alerts, and automated health checks.

Core Engineering Focus

These are the technical disciplines I invest my time in and operate daily:

Cloud Cost Optimization & FinOps

Continuous spend observability, rightsizing workloads, and establishing automated governance. Finding and eliminating the hidden waste in cloud bills without compromising availability.

Infrastructure as Code

Immutable, reproducible infrastructure managed through Terraform, GitOps, and CI/CD pipelines. Treating infrastructure definitions with the same rigorous testing and security controls as application code.

Incident Automation & Observability

Connecting distributed logs, metrics, and traces into actionable alerts. Building event-driven self-healing pipelines that absorb transient failures before human intervention is required.
