Tama.
Cloud and platform engineering leader with 9+ years designing, automating, securing, and operating enterprise platforms across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
I turn complex cloud requirements into resilient platforms.
I lead complex technical initiatives from architecture through production readiness. My work spans multi-account landing zones, application modernization, identity federation, observability, incident response, and regulated-cloud controls for NASA/JPL, DHS, the U.S. Army, financial services, healthcare, and commercial organizations.
I am known for translating ambiguous requirements into pragmatic solutions, improving developer workflows, documenting standards, mentoring engineers, and balancing reliability, security, delivery speed, and cost.
