Senior DevOps Engineer designing secure, scalable AWS/Azure platforms with DevSecOps automation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 8+ years designing and operating scalable, secure, resilient AWS and Azure infrastructure. I focus on platform reliability, developer productivity, and cloud-native architectures that teams can trust.
I manage Kubernetes clusters (AKS) and implement GitOps continuous delivery with ArgoCD. I build CI/CD pipelines with GitLab CI and Terraform to automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and deployments across AWS and Azure.
I also lead observability and security as code—building stacks with Grafana, Prometheus, and OpenSearch, and managing Datadog security dashboards and alerting rules in Terraform. I develop Splunk dashboards for security detections, tune OWASP-based detection rules, and run SAST-driven vulnerability management with Semgrep.
Across my roles, I’ve shipped platforms like ADOBE’s DEVSECOP (Vault/Splunk/Datadog infrastructure), created high-availability Apache Airflow on AWS EKS, and built a Security Data platform using Terraform and Lambda. I bring a strong security mindset (OWASP/WAF) plus practical incident diagnosis in Kubernetes and databases to minimize downtime.

Designed and maintained scalable, secure AWS and Azure infrastructure, including Kubernetes orchestration on EKS/AKS with GitOps delivery via ArgoCD. Built CI/CD and observability stacks (Terraform, GitLab CI, Grafana/Prometheus/OpenSearch, Datadog Security, Splunk) and supported incident response and OWASP-based detection and vulnerability management.
Provisioned and managed security data platform infrastructure across AWS and Azure using Terraform modules and Ansible for post-provisioning configuration management. Implemented Terraform-as-code observability and CI/CD, including security detection dashboards (Datadog) and alerting, and deployed production workflow orchestration with Apache Airflow on AWS EKS.
Improved test pass rates for networking features by fine-tuning infrastructure and troubleshooting issues across networking test suites. Developed Python NLP tools to diagnose failure patterns, authored OWASP-aligned detection rules, and built CI/CD pipelines integrating unit tests using Git/Jenkins/Docker and supporting security scanning with Semgrep.
Deployed enterprise network solutions for partners and customers, providing upper-layer escalation support for network security incidents across Europe and North America. Configured and troubleshot routing and switching and security features including OSPF/BGP, VxLAN/VLAN, IPsec, NAT, QoS, and STP, and delivered customer trainings on network solutions.
