Message

At Evolent Health, I brought the organization’s first Backstage internal developer platform from zero to production, with self-service golden paths and GitOps delivery. I also built a Go-based API that made infrastructure provisioning available through a self-service call.

I cut CI/CD compute costs by about 30% with ephemeral, autoscaling GitHub Actions runners on Kubernetes, and reduced observability costs by 60% with a platform built on AKS. My work there also includes an agentic FinOps tool that links Azure spend anomalies to infrastructure changes.

At Deutsche Telekom, I built and operated production EKS clusters and created a shared Jenkins platform adopted by all four product lines. I also templated more than 40 Kubernetes microservices and Nginx into one reusable Helm chart, which went to production with zero deployment incidents.

Earlier, at ValueLabs LLP, I supported AWS and on-premise systems for an enterprise client, including a 400-plus-server Red Hat Enterprise Linux estate. I automated infrastructure and operations with Terraform, Ansible, Bash, and Python, and led the RHEL 6 to RHEL 8 migration.
