What I'm looking for

I seek a senior DevOps/platform role where I can lead infrastructure automation, improve reliability with observability and IaC, and work in a collaborative, SRE-minded team focused on scalable cloud systems.

I am an AWS and CKA/CKAD certified DevOps engineer with over six years building resilient, secure cloud infrastructure and automation on AWS. I specialize in Terraform, Kubernetes (EKS), GitLab CI/CD, and observability tools to deliver scalable systems.

At AvalonBay and WEX I designed GitLab pipelines, provisioned EKS clusters with Terraform, implemented GitOps, and reduced deployment and incident detection times through automation and monitoring. I led disaster recovery planning and enforced secure access controls with RBAC, SSO, and Secrets Manager.

I bring a pragmatic, reliability-first approach to platform engineering, emphasizing IaC, SLI/SLO-driven observability, cost and performance optimization, and documented runbooks to improve operational maturity and resilience.
