He has driven measurable savings and velocity improvements—standardizing IaC and CI/CD across teams to save six figures annually and slashing environment spin-up times from days to hours. Joey’s background spans Python, Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes/EKS, and migrations between cloud providers, with notable contributions automating Terraform modules, Redis clustering, and pipeline replatforming. Now expanding into React and full‑stack work as a side pursuit, he pairs platform-level thinking with a developer-first empathy, having served as a liaison to multiple engineering teams. Based in Santa Cruz, he brings a collaborative, results-oriented mindset and a taste for continuous improvement—on and off the clock (ask him about local coffee shops or a good hike).
