What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can architect and automate enterprise cloud systems—owning CI/CD, reliability, and performance—while collaborating across engineering and operations to deliver secure, high-availability services.

Dynamic software engineer with over 10 years of expertise in enterprise-scale applications and cloud architecture. I spearhead mission-critical work that improves application performance by 40% and delivers 99.9% system availability.

I architect cloud-native solutions using AWS and Azure, driving 30% cost reduction in infrastructure spending. I also lead microservices and DevOps transformations, cutting deployment time by 60% while maintaining continuous delivery of secure, reliable services.

I’ve led cross-functional teams of 8+ engineers and am recognized for building scalable solutions that process 1M+ daily transactions. I bring strong governance through SOP-driven operational excellence, CI/CD automation, and thorough test planning with integration and automated UI tests.

Across roles including DevOps engineering, QA, applications support, and Web development, I collaborate closely with development, QA, operations, and stakeholders. I’m energized by continuous learning and problem-solving—turning monitoring signals into actionable improvements for stability, performance, and user experience.
