We build the infrastructure
that runs an insurance brokerage.
Cloud, network, security, identity, and platform engineering for one of the largest privately-held insurance firms in the country. Quietly, reliably, and without lighting prod on fire.
Six surfaces, one mission.
Keep agents, brokers, and customers connected to the systems they need — fast, secure, and within the regulatory frameworks an insurance brokerage operates under.
Cloud Infrastructure
Hyperconverged compute, software-defined storage, and disciplined IaC across on-prem and hyperscaler footprints.
Network & Security
Edge firewalls, segmentation, secure access service edge, and zero-trust gating to internal resources.
Endpoint & EUC
Persistent and non-persistent VDI, image management, and modern endpoint hardening on Windows and macOS.
Identity
Cloud identity, conditional access, posture-aware authentication, and lifecycle automation.
Automation
Glue code, runbooks, AI-assisted operations, and the unending fight against toil.
Observability
Logs, metrics, traces, and alerting that wakes you up only when it actually matters.
Boring, proven, well-tuned.
A pragmatic mix of best-in-class platforms. We chase fundamentals over hype — but stay sharp on what's next.
What's on the workbench.
A non-exhaustive snapshot of what's in the lab and in production right now. Some of these are interesting. Some are character-building.
WAF migration
Moving virtual servers off legacy ADC onto FortiGate. Service-by-service cutover with full backout.
Hypervisor migration
Lifting workloads off VMware onto Nutanix AHV. Driver, networking, and DNS gotchas catalogued and shared.
New compute cluster
Eight Dell R7625 nodes, dual EPYC 9004, shared NFS. Phase 0 networking finalized.
Ticketing replatform
Retiring legacy ITSM. Building the replacement on Azure DevOps with AI-assisted intake and triage.
AI in the workflow
Operator-in-the-loop tooling for infrastructure changes, with policy guardrails, audit trails, and rollback.
SaaS rationalization
Auditing low-utilization tenants, consolidating overlap, retiring shadow IT — quietly recovering budget.
