Senior DevOps Engineer specializing in secure CI/CD automation and cloud infrastructure.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior DevOps Engineer with deep experience optimizing CI/CD, automation, and cloud infrastructure management across AWS and Azure. I integrate security scanning into the development lifecycle, build Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, and collaborate across teams to deliver scalable, secure, and compliant solutions.
In my recent role, I established Terraform guidance and security controls for a Cyber Engineering group by implementing Checkov and Wiz-based scanning, and I created AI-assisted security gates to catch issues before production. Previously, I automated 50+ Helm build and deployment jobs on Kubernetes EKS using ArgoCD (enabling 90% of dev teams to self-manage deployments), containerized MuleSoft and Airflow pipeline apps with Docker, and improved reliability by integrating Prometheus and Grafana (reducing MTTR by 33%). I’ve also managed the lifecycle and secure rotation of 100+ critical secrets with HashiCorp Vault, while reducing DevOps toil through AWS Systems Manager (SSM) and Ansible.
