I'm a full-stack infrastructure engineer who started wiring motor control circuits at a coal terminal in South Africa, spent 8.5 years at AWS (4 promotions, TAM for Comcast/Quantcast), and now lead cloud security at a Fortune 500 while building Smactorio - an AI governance platform using OSCAL. I understand systems from electrons to compliance frameworks.
