What I'm looking for

I seek a SRE/DevOps role where I can lead cloud automation, improve reliability through IaC and observability, and work in security-conscious, collaborative teams.

I am a DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with over six years of cloud infrastructure experience and a decade in Occupational Health and Safety leadership, focused on building secure, automated, and scalable systems.

I have delivered measurable reliability and efficiency gains by automating Kubernetes deployments, implementing GitOps, centralizing observability, and improving CI/CD pipelines across AWS and Azure environments.

I combine hands-on infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, and security expertise with leadership in compliance and incident response to reduce risk, lower costs, and accelerate delivery for production systems.
