What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own reliable cloud and Kubernetes platforms, improve delivery and observability, and build AI-assisted SRE tooling in a high-ownership environment.

At Mekas Cloud USA, I operate Kubernetes platforms across GCP GKE and AWS EKS, own ArgoCD and FluxCD delivery, and built Grafana observability that cut MTTD from 18 to 5 minutes and reduced MTTR by 73%.

I've managed production Kafka, Redis, and PostgreSQL; hardened Keycloak-based SSO, RBAC, and secrets management; and automated infrastructure with Terraform, Python, and Bash. Across Mekas Cloud, Genpact, and Cubespace Technologies, I've supported large Kubernetes fleets, progressive delivery for microservices, cloud cost optimization, and AI-assisted incident triage using Claude Code.
