What I'm looking for

I seek a senior infrastructure/cloud role focused on automation, security, and scalable platform operations, with collaborative teams and opportunities to optimize systems and lead upgrades.

I am an infrastructure engineer with hands-on experience designing, deploying, and optimizing cloud and on‑premise platforms, including AWS, Kubernetes, and Cloudera CDP/CDH. I deliver secure, highly available architectures and automate operations using Python, Shell, and Ansible.

I have led cluster upgrades, health checks, and production Kubernetes deployments, integrated monitoring and logging stacks, and implemented encryption and data protection solutions across multiple database platforms. I hold cloud and platform certifications and continuously pursue practical, outcome-driven engineering.

I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure operational excellence, compliance, and scalability while minimizing downtime. I seek roles where I can apply my automation, security, and performance‑tuning skills to solve complex infrastructure challenges.
