Brendan Smith

I build the platforms other engineers depend on. Twenty years in — AWS, Azure, Terraform, Kubernetes, Python, and now agentic AI.

// currently
  • Designing AWS and Azure infrastructure with Terraform — paved paths from commit to production
  • Going deep on agentic AI engineering, with agentctl as my daily harness for parallel Claude Code sessions
  • Operating in and deploying to regulated environments, including HIPAA and SOC2
  • ECS by default these days; Kubernetes when it earns its complexity
