What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a hands-on IC role at a remote-first company—designing internal developer platforms, reliable build systems, and secure CI/CD so engineers can ship without waiting on DevOps.

I’m a Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer with 7+ years building cloud-native infrastructure, developer tooling, and CI/CD systems on AWS and Kubernetes at enterprise scale, including 2+ years fully remote. I take end-to-end ownership of build system reliability and incident response, translating reliability needs into better workflows and safer deployments.

Most recently, I architected org-wide CI/CD modernization—moving from a custom Jenkins shared library to centralized GitHub Actions and GitOps-based Kubernetes deployments with ArgoCD. I also built developer-first automation, including a Claude Code CLI plugin for self-service CI/CD repo bootstrapping and a LangGraph agent that generates Terraform PRs to team conventions.

Along the way, I’ve designed production-grade infrastructure and tooling: CIDR collision-free AWS VPC architecture for multi-cluster EKS migrations, Terraform/CloudFormation provisioning to reduce toil, and autoscaling with Karpenter. I’m currently focused on AI-powered internal developer platforms—so engineers can ship without waiting on DevOps—while keeping observability, security, and policy compliance tightly integrated.
