About Me #
Aloha! I’m Laurence A. Lee, a Cloud Platform Engineer with over 15 years of experience architecting secure, scalable systems. Based in Mesa, AZ, with roots in Honolulu, HI, I currently drive cloud innovation at Hawaiian Airlines using Terraform, Vault Enterprise, Consul, and Kubernetes (AWS EKS, k3d/k3s). I specialize in securing microservices with HashiCorp tools, building full-stack apps with TypeScript/JavaScript and Angular, and optimizing observability with Prometheus and Grafana. Outside code, I explore the desert or tweak my home lab. Explore my projects to see my impact.
