Miller.

Senior Platform Analyst & Cloud Infrastructure Specialist

Active · Loblaw Companies Ltd

26+ years designing, building, and supporting high-availability infrastructure across enterprise, retail, and cloud-native environments. I specialize in cloud and hybrid-cloud solutions—fast, stable, secure, and built to scale.

Systems should just work. When they don't, I figure out why.
