What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead platform engineering and SRE work—owning CI/CD, reliability, incident response, and SLOs—while building secure, compliant, cost-efficient cloud automation and operating high-availability production systems.

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer and Technical Lead with 4+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, Kubernetes orchestration, CI/CD automation, and Reliability Engineering across multi-cloud and on-premise environments. I lead a DevOps team of 8+ engineers, directly mentor interns, and own reliability practices like incident coordination, RCA, sprint planning, and SLOs—sustaining a 99.9% SLA across 15+ production applications.

I drive infrastructure decision-making end-to-end: planning cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-on-premise migrations with near-zero-downtime cutovers, leading cost optimization (25% monthly infrastructure spend reduction), and strengthening compliance by supporting ISO 27001 and SOC 2 initiatives. I build secure CI/CD pipelines and observability platforms, including Grype-based vulnerability scanning, Prometheus/Grafana/Loki monitoring, and HA/DR architectures for production data systems—consistently targeting operational excellence (sub-30-minute RTO).
