What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead secure cloud and developer productivity platforms—designing scalable CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and AI-assisted automation, while integrating strong DevSecOps practices to accelerate R&D and improve release frequency.

I’m a hands-on DevOps Architect and Platform Engineering Lead with 10+ years of enterprise experience building scalable cloud infrastructure, developer productivity platforms, and automated CI/CD ecosystems. I focus on multi-cloud engineering across AWS and Azure, paired with strong enterprise security governance.

I architect solutions using Infrastructure as Code with Terraform (plus Bicep/ARM templates), and I automate cloud networking and compute platforms through repeatable modules and scripts. I bring containers and orchestration into the core delivery path with Kubernetes (EKS/AKS), Docker, and ECS.

To speed up delivery without compromising security, I integrate AI-assisted developer workflows into the pipeline—using AWS Bedrock, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and RAG solutions—alongside unit, integration, and security testing. I embed security baselines into release cycles through DevSecOps and automated testing in Jenkins and GitHub Actions.

I also lead through collaboration and mentorship, partnering with Product, Security, and R&D stakeholders to translate requirements into architecture plans and delivery roadmaps. From design to delivery, I drive microservices modernization with automated health checks, blue/green deployments, and zero-downtime releases.
