What I'm looking for

I seek a senior DevOps/cloud role to design secure multi-cloud infrastructure, build CI/CD platforms, mentor teams, and drive governance, automation, and cost optimization in enterprise or financial environments.

I am a results-driven Senior DevOps Engineer with 17+ years building and securing cloud infrastructure across Azure, GCP, AWS, and OCI. I specialize in automating infrastructure with Terraform and Bicep, and in creating scalable CI/CD pipelines using GitLab, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins.

I have designed enterprise-grade Azure landing zones, enforced cloud governance, and driven multi-cloud cost and performance optimizations—reducing provisioning times from days to minutes and cutting cloud costs by 25% in recent engagements.

I lead technical enablement and mentor teams to adopt DevOps best practices, and I have a strong record of improving reliability and incident response (40% faster) while aligning environments to PCI and SOC2 requirements.

I thrive in enterprise and financial-sector environments where I can architect secure, compliant platforms, implement observability, and accelerate delivery through automation and reusable infrastructure modules.
