I came up through infrastructure and site reliability, and I'm still hands-on with the platform every day.
About
I lead engineering at BuildTime, a construction workforce management SaaS in Atlanta. I own architecture, delivery, and technical strategy, and I still run the infrastructure I built back when I was the company's sole DevOps engineer. The platform handles timekeeping, payroll, and workforce management for signatory contractors.
Most of my job now is making sure a small team can ship reliably. I grew the engineering function from a solo infrastructure role into a seven-person org, and I run our SOC 2 Type 2 program. I also led the platform modernization that took us off a single point of failure and onto dedicated app servers with zero-downtime deploys.
