Privacy Policy & Cookie Usage
Last updated: October 2026 • Effective immediately
1. Core Privacy Philosophy
As a DevOps engineer who designs secure, minimal, and least-privilege cloud architectures, I treat website privacy with the exact same rigor. This website is built to provide information about my engineering services and case studies without surreptitiously harvesting personal information or tracking you across the internet.
2. Cookies & Local Storage
This website does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking beacons. The only storage utilized by this site consists of:
- Cookie Consent Preference (`localStorage`): Saves your choice when you click "Accept" or "Reject" on the cookie notice banner so we do not prompt you repeatedly on subsequent page visits.
3. Privacy-Friendly Analytics
We respect user privacy and do not use Google Analytics or any invasive tracking suites.
If you explicitly grant consent through our cookie banner, we load Plausible Analytics, an open-source, privacy-first analytics tool. Plausible operates without collecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or setting persistent tracking cookies. It tracks aggregate metrics (such as page views, referral sources, and device types) to help improve site performance.
If you click "Reject All", zero analytics scripts are requested or executed.
4. Direct Inquiries & Calendly Scheduling
Direct Email & Message Inquiries
When you send an inquiry via the contact form or email, your name, email address, and project notes are used solely to review your technical requirements and respond to your inquiry. Your details are never sold, rented, or added to automated marketing lists.
Calendly Consultation Scheduling
When booking a consultation via the embedded Calendly scheduling widget, any information you provide (name, email, scheduling timezone) is processed in accordance with Calendly's privacy policy to coordinate the video call invitation and calendar invite.
5. Your Data Rights
You have the right to request access to any personal correspondence you have submitted, or to request that your messages be permanently erased from my records. To make a request, contact me directly at:
