United States

Message

At Taos, where I work as a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), I design and maintain highly available production infrastructure across AWS and Azure. I use Kubernetes and Terraform to support platform reliability and operational efficiency.

I built and optimized CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and Argo CD, and implemented observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and the ELK Stack. I also established SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets to support incident management and continuous service improvement.

Previously, at Effective Soft and Onica, I worked on cloud infrastructure, deployment automation, and containerized application environments. My projects include an Enterprise Cloud Reliability & Kubernetes Observability Platform and multi-cloud DevOps automation across AWS and Azure.
