I’m Rich Fenoglio, a senior infrastructure and cloud engineer with 9+ years of experience designing, stabilizing, and modernizing complex systems across cloud, hybrid datacenters, and highly regulated environments. I’ve repeatedly been brought into environments where systems, processes, or relationships were struggling — and helped turn them into stable, scalable, and defensible platforms.

My background spans site reliability engineering, infrastructure architecture, security and compliance (FedRAMP, CMMC, PCI-DSS), and large-scale operations, with hands-on ownership of platforms ranging from AWS and VMware to HPC, identity systems, backup/DR, and security tooling.

What differentiates me is not just technical depth, but how I operate across boundaries:
- translating risk and compliance requirements into practical engineering designs
- bridging audit, security, engineering, and business stakeholders
- automating away operational toil to create leverage at scale
- leading complex initiatives without relying on formal authority

Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family, homelabbing, gaming, DIY house projects, and reading.
