What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on operating and improving secure, highly available AKS/cloud platforms with strong collaboration, measurable reliability goals, and opportunities to lead incident response and cost-optimization.

I am a Senior Azure Cloud and Kubernetes engineer with 5+ years modernizing and operating cloud-native platforms across healthcare and fintech, specializing in AKS operations, secure landing zones, and production reliability. I own incident response, RCA, performance tuning, and cost optimization for mission-critical workloads while partnering closely with DevOps and application teams to improve deployment practices and release stability.

My hands-on expertise spans Azure networking, identity (AAD/RBAC/Managed Identities), observability (Azure Monitor/Log Analytics, Prometheus/Grafana), and enterprise support workflows. I have delivered enterprise-grade AKS support, engineered secure network architectures, implemented governance and security controls, and driven operational improvements that reduce repeat incidents and increase platform uptime.
