What I'm looking for

I want to lead end-to-end incident/problem operations and reliability work, using Jira Service Management automation and ITIL best practices. I’m looking for a team that values transparent communication, data-driven improvements, and engineering collaboration to keep business-critical services stable.

I’m an experienced Service Operations Team Lead with 7+ years in ITIL®-based Incident & Problem Management, SRE operations, and production reliability across gaming and technology environments. I take end-to-end ownership of incident lifecycles—from detection and prioritization through cross-functional resolution, incident response planning, and post-mortem analysis.

In my roles, I lead major incidents for P0–P3, drive transparent customer and stakeholder communication, and continuously improve service management processes aligned to ITIL best practices. I mentor teams, build resilience through proactive monitoring and risk detection, and design Jira Service Management automation, dashboards, and workflows that enhance visibility, efficiency, and operational maturity.
