What I'm looking for

I seek a cloud-focused role where I can resolve incidents, optimize GCP environments, automate infrastructure, mentor teams, and contribute to reliable, secure platform operations.

I am a Google Cloud Support Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience in incident response, cloud optimization, and premium enterprise support across GCP services. I consistently achieved 100% CES scores on customer-reviewed cases by performing deep root-cause analysis, live GVC troubleshooting, bug remediation, and rapid SLA-driven resolution.

I automate infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines with Terraform and GitLab, diagnose service degradation using Prometheus, Grafana and Cloud Monitoring, and mentor peers through documentation and playbooks. My background spans Compute Engine, Cloud SQL, GKE, Cloud Run, Vertex AI, networking, and multi-cloud operations, complemented by prior roles in control systems, simulator verification, and lab instruction.
