What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on DevOps/SRE roles focused on automation, cloud-native platforms, and observability in collaborative teams that value learning and measurable impact.

I am a Senior DevOps Engineer and SRE with a strong track record building and operating cloud-native platforms across AWS, Azure, OpenShift, and Kubernetes. I focus on automation, observability, security, and cost-efficiency, and I enjoy teaching and learning daily.

Over more than five years as a DevOps/SRE and five years as a systems engineer, I have led small teams, implemented IaC with Terraform and Ansible, deployed EKS/OpenShift clusters, and introduced GitOps with ArgoCD to speed deliveries and reduce downtime. I have delivered measurable results, including halving deployment time and improving resource utilization by 25%.

My technical practice spans containerization, monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana/Loki, secrets management with Vault, CI/CD pipelines, and serverless patterns; I prioritize secure, highly available, and cost-effective solutions that align to business goals.
