What I'm looking for

I seek a hands‑on cloud/SRE leadership role where I can drive automation, observability, and scalable CI/CD in a security‑minded, collaborative team.

I am a Cloud DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering professional with 5+ years of progressive experience building, deploying, and maintaining highly available, scalable cloud environments across AWS, GCP and multi‑cloud platforms. I specialize in infrastructure as code, CI/CD modernization, observability, and automation to improve reliability and reduce operational overhead.

As a Team Lead Cloud Engineering and former SRE, I led migrations from Jenkins to Harness CI/CD, implemented Terraform automation, adopted GitOps with ArgoCD, and improved monitoring with Grafana, Robusta and SigNoz—delivering measurable reductions in manual tasks and MTTR while maintaining high uptime for critical payment systems.

I am committed to operational excellence, security and continuous improvement, with hands‑on experience managing Kafka clusters, databases, Cloudflare services and Kubernetes platforms, plus a track record of mentoring engineers and teaching DevOps concepts to learners.
