What I'm looking for

I seek a senior DevOps/SRE role focusing on multi-cloud automation, secure CI/CD, platform reliability, and mentoring teams to scale infrastructure.

I am a Lead Senior DevOps Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer with over 10 years of experience automating infrastructure and delivering secure, scalable systems across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I design and optimize CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), manage Kubernetes ecosystems (EKS, AKS, GKE) with Helm, Kustomize, ArgoCD, and implement IaC using Terraform, CloudFormation and Ansible to reduce deployment time and cloud spend.

I have led cloud migrations, applied DevSecOps controls to meet SOC 2, HIPAA and PCI DSS, and deployed monitoring and reliability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) with SLIs/SLOs. I mentor teams in automation-driven workflows, integrate security tooling (Snyk, Aqua, Twistlock, Vault), and drive operational improvements that lowered deployment time and optimized costs.
