What I'm looking for

I seek a senior SRE/Cloud/Platform role where I can lead automation-first, secure multi-cloud platform initiatives, improve reliability, and drive measurable cost and compliance outcomes.

I am a Senior Site Reliability Engineer and Cloud Engineer with 8+ years building and operating production-grade infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP, specializing in Kubernetes platform engineering, GitOps workflows, and Infrastructure as Code. I have delivered Internal Developer Platforms, implemented Zero-Trust and DevSecOps practices, and governed cloud costs in regulated FinTech and Healthcare environments under SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS controls.

My accomplishments include reducing environment provisioning from days to minutes, cutting MTTR from 42 to under 9 minutes via self-healing controllers, and delivering sustained multi-cloud uptime with automated observability and policy-as-code gates. I prioritize automation, security-by-design, and measurable reliability improvements that align engineering velocity with compliance and cost goals.
