Hi, I'm Blake

Cloud Engineer | SRE & DevOps

I'm a Cloud Engineer focused on Site Reliability and DevOps in the healthcare industry. I design and build highly scalable, resilient infrastructure that powers modern healthcare systems.

Day-to-day, I work with .NET, JavaScript, and TypeScript to deliver reliable platforms. Outside of work, I build with Go—creating tools that prioritize performance, privacy, and user empowerment.


🚀 Current Projects

A comprehensive cycling training platform designed to help riders stay aware of their performance, progress, and goals. Build structured training plans, analyze ride data, and complete workouts indoors—all in one place.

An educational platform focused on homelabbing, privacy protection, and data sovereignty. Practical guides, community support, and resources to help anyone build their own secure digital environment and take control of their personal data.
