Robert McCray

Cloud Engineer • Platform Architect • Pensacola, FL

I design and deploy cloud-native infrastructure, lead secure platform delivery from architecture to production, and build zero-trust environments that integrate advanced AI models.

Engineering Experience

I’m a Cloud Engineer and Platform Architect with deep expertise in designing scalable, secure, and resilient architectures. I'm comfortable owning the full system lifecycle: from domain context planning and infrastructure-as-code to identity-first access control, cloud-native security, and container orchestration.

Currently, my work focuses on building multi-tenant SaaS platforms, enforcing Shift-Left FinOps, and deploying decentralized networks.

  • CommunityLife Concierge: Formulated full system architecture, domain contexts, and workflow specifications for a multi-tenant residential platform.
  • MHD Platform: Compiled an enterprise-grade cloud security framework with explicit trust boundaries and identity-first access control.
  • Serverless E-Commerce: Engineered a lightweight, static web architecture from scratch using React, Vite, Cloudflare Workers, and automated Stripe webhooks.

Technical Focus

  • Languages: TypeScript, Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: Azure, Cloudflare Workers, Vast.ai, Tailscale, Linux
  • Security & Identity: Zero-Trust networking, Identity-first access control, automated compliance testing
  • AI & Containerization: Docker, Ollama, LM Studio, Hugging Face, decentralized cloud nodes
  • Backend & Integrations: Node/React ecosystems, Vite, Stripe webhooks, Supabase, Listmonk, n8n

Professional Athletics & Engineering Discipline

Before transitioning to platform architecture, I spent four years as a professional athlete in the NFL, playing for the Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Browns, and Detroit Lions.

Competing at the highest level of professional sports instilled a rigorous foundation of discipline, strategic execution, and high-stakes teamwork. Today, I apply that same elite performance mindset to engineering: architecting fault-tolerant systems, leading collaborative technical deployments, and continuously optimizing complex pipelines to ensure flawless execution in production.

AI-Augmented Development & Automation

I’m actively building systems where AI can autonomously evaluate, route, and remediate infrastructure environments when paired with robust CI/CD and zero-trust tunnels.

Recent work includes:

  • FiftyTwoLabs P2P Trading Network: Deployed an isolated, encrypted peer-to-peer quantitative trading architecture routing data requests across zero-trust tunnels to decentralized cloud nodes running open-source models.
  • Identity Dark Matter Sweeper: Engineered automated compliance container testing that executes autonomous least-privilege role remediation log outputs.
  • AIOps Auto-Remediator: Wired complex n8n workflows to enable AI agents to complete full physical infrastructure loops and seamlessly manage backend targets.

Connect

I'm always open to discussing cloud architecture, infrastructure automation, and advanced platform deployments.
