About Me
I specialize in hybrid cloud engineering, automation, and networking. With hands-on experience supporting large-scale enterprise environments, I focus on improving infrastructure efficiency, securing digital assets, and implementing scalable automation workflows. I’ve completed my B.S. in Computer Science at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
Professional Experience
Network Engineer Intern – Whataburger Corporate (Jan 2025 – Present)
- Developed an automation pipeline to convert hardware checklists sent in emails into JSON, syncing with Gitea and building coprorate networks via Rundeck.
- Troubleshot network issues using TACACS, Radius, Wireshark, and resolved VPN tunnel failures and traffic overflow.
- Upgraded Cisco switch infrastructure, secured SSH management access, and updated firmware.
- Documented Meraki switch upgrades and implemented automated reporting via Power Automate and SharePoint.
Cloud Services Engineer Intern – Whataburger Corporate (Jul 2024 – Dec 2024)
- Automated provisioning of 4,500+ user accounts weekly across Azure and on-prem using Logic Apps and Workday integration.
- Enhanced RBAC and IAM policies, integrating Azure Key Vault for compliance with ISO 27001.
- Implemented incident response playbooks and SIEM alerting via Azure Monitor.
SecOps Intern – The Commons XR (Jan 2024 – Jul 2024)
- Designed SSO and MFA flows to secure Azure cloud infrastructure.
- Audited database changes with Logic Apps and enforced HIPAA and GDPR compliance.
Security Analyst Intern – Magavi Enterprises (Jan 2023 – May 2023)
- Conducted compliance audits, improving security postures by 85%.
Enterprise Access & Identity Engineer
I develop secure IAM workflows that support hybrid environments across Azure and on-prem AD. By implementing automation in account provisioning, RBAC enforcement, and compliance with ISO 27001, I help organizations scale securely while reducing operational overhead.
Infrastructure Automation Engineer
Using tools like Logic Apps, Power Automate, and Python, I build infrastructure automation pipelines to streamline tasks like network provisioning, switch migrations, and hardware lifecycle integration across Gitea, IPAM, and Rundeck, reducing manual configuration time and errors.
Hybrid Network & Cloud Integrator
I support cloud-native and on-prem networking by configuring Cisco and Meraki gear, troubleshooting VPN/IP flows with Wireshark and TACACS, and deploying hybrid solutions with Azure Arc. My work ensures seamless cloud-to-edge connectivity with enterprise-grade visibility and control.

NETWORK CONFIGURATION AUTOMATION
Automated hardware provisioning for Whataburger’s corporate and franchise units. This tool parses standard DOCX checklists sent in emails for new or updated Units via Power Automate and uploads a formatted json file to GITEA. The script pulls those files from GitEA to map VLANs, generates static IPs and device config files, and uploads a new Network Configuration JSON file to Gitea dynamically. It then integrates with Rundeck and Meraki API as well as TMobile API for pushing network deployments for all unprovisioned store networks.
CUDA PARALLEL PROGRAMMING EXPERIMENT
In this section, I've implemented a CUDA kernel that performs a compare-and-exchange operation on an array using global memory only. The kernel uses a single block of threads to handle the array. Each thread compares and swaps two elements in the array if they are out of order.
Automated Provisioning Agent
Design of a user provisioning agent, as part of a lifecycle workflow, to automate tasks such as creating new user AD accounts as well as updating them. Additionally this agent created users in Entra and can assign users to their necessary security groups dynamically, and also complies with our RBAC policies. We've decided to use tools like Azure Logic App, and Runbook to automate as well as load balanced Azure Arc Servers for continuation.
