Jay-Alexander Elliot

Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer focused on AWS infrastructure, Terraform, CI/CD, and compliance-heavy systems.

I have 9 years of production experience across government, healthcare, startup, and consulting environments. My work spans platform delivery, backend systems, infrastructure automation, and operating high-trust systems with clear ownership.

Current focus

Private multi-agent platform for legal and compliance workflows. Current work includes Go services, AWS infrastructure, multi-tenant SaaS patterns, and production-focused backend delivery.

Automation toolkit and reproducible Linux environment work focused on repeatable setup, hardening, and developer platform reliability.

Selected background

Most recently, I built a FedRAMP-compliant platform for the State of Utah Office of Data Privacy, covering OCR ingestion, retrieval workflows, compliance tooling, and public-sector governance use cases. That work was featured at the 2025 Data Privacy & Governance Summit.

Earlier work includes AWS ownership in compliance-heavy environments, founding-engineer roles at TigoHealth and Parrot Health, and production healthcare systems tied to HIPAA, Medicaid, interoperability, and patient-facing workflows.
