Systems Engineer · Cloud Architect in Progress
I'm a Systems Engineer based in San Diego, CA with a background in networking, infrastructure, and automation. I work with Python, PowerShell, and Ansible daily and I'm currently expanding into cloud architecture and DevOps.
I recently earned both my AWS Solutions Architect Associate and AWS SysOps Administrator Associate certifications, and I'm finishing my Bachelor's degree with an AWS-focused capstone project. Next up: containerization, Kubernetes, and CKA certification.
tr2labs is where I document and showcase everything I build — labs, projects, and experiments outside of my day job.
Production-grade VPC with public and private subnets across two availability zones. Includes an Application Load Balancer, Auto Scaling Group, and Multi-AZ RDS. Survived intentional AZ failure simulation.
This site. Hosted on a private S3 bucket served through CloudFront with Origin Access Control, HTTPS via ACM, and custom domain routing through Route 53.
Contact form backed by API Gateway, Lambda, and SES. Zero servers, scales automatically, email address never exposed in source code.
AWS-focused capstone project for Bachelor's degree completion. Designed and deployed a scalable cloud environment demonstrating core architecture principles including high availability, security, and cost optimization.
Full VPC stack and application tier defined in CloudFormation. One-click deploy and teardown of the entire multi-tier architecture.
GitHub push triggers automatic S3 upload and CloudFront cache invalidation. Push to main and the site updates itself.

Planned 2026Outside of cloud work, I run FunctionalFiles — an Etsy shop selling interactive HTML tools that work entirely offline. No subscriptions, no accounts, no internet required. Download once, use forever.
Track every recurring subscription in one place. See monthly and annual totals at a glance, tag by category, and know exactly what you're paying for.
Built for couples planning a wedding. Track vendors, deposits, balances due, and payment deadlines — all in a single interactive file.
Plan and track every expense for a new baby — from nursery setup to ongoing monthly costs. Designed for expecting parents who want to stay on top of the numbers.
