What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and team development.

I am an engineering leader with extensive experience in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), DevOps, and Quality Assurance. My journey has been marked by a commitment to building scalable, reliable, and secure systems. I have a passion for open source development, exemplified by my creation of Bombardier, a Rust-based load testing tool, which showcases my dedication to enhancing system performance and reliability.

In my current role as Lead SRE at Thought Machine, I manage over 100 Kubernetes clusters, ensuring 99.95% availability for our SaaS clients. I lead initiatives to improve product reliability and engineer productivity, focusing on automation and efficiency. My previous experiences at Grab and Standard Chartered Bank have equipped me with a robust skill set in CI/CD, incident management, and cloud infrastructure, allowing me to effectively lead teams and drive innovation.
