Who I Am

I'm a systems engineer who lives at the intersection where enterprise mainframes meet modern cloud architecture.

With deep expertise in COBOL, DB2, and mainframe systems, combined with fluency in Python, Docker, and cloud-native technologies, I specialize in the critical work of modernizing legacy enterprise infrastructure without breaking what works.

I believe the future of enterprise technology isn't about replacing the old — it's about creating intelligent bridges between battle-tested mainframe systems and the agility of modern cloud platforms. From API modernization layers to containerized deployment pipelines, I architect solutions that honor reliability while embracing innovation.

When I'm not engineering systems, I'm exploring AI/ML, contributing to open-source projects, competing in data science challenges, and building full-stack applications that push boundaries.
