What I'm looking for

I seek a senior/platform role driving cloud-native, secure, and automated platforms (Kubernetes, IaC, GitOps) with ownership of reliability, cost optimization, and team mentorship.

I am a Principal DevOps Engineer with 10+ years delivering secure, cloud-native, hybrid, and multi-cloud platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I focus on Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, CI/CD, containerization, and cloud-native automation to drive measurable operational improvements.

I have led platform engineering and SRE initiatives that produced results such as 50% faster builds, 45% less downtime, 30% cost savings, 95% deployment automation, and MTTR reductions of up to 60–65% through observability and incident response automation.

My technical breadth includes Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE), Istio, ArgoCD, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Vault, and policy-as-code tools like OPA and Kyverno. I enforce DevSecOps practices to meet HIPAA, SOC2, and NIST requirements while championing FinOps and AIOps where appropriate.

I mentor and lead teams to scale microservices architectures and CI/CD pipelines, enabling resilient platforms that support hundreds of services globally, reduce release risk, and improve reliability and cost efficiency.
