Senior DevOps and Cloud Engineer driving reliable, automated, secure infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps and Cloud Engineer with over 15 years in IT and eight years focused on DevOps, specializing in AWS and Azure cloud platforms, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation. I design and implement scalable, secure infrastructure and automated deployment pipelines that reduce manual effort and accelerate releases.
I've integrated generative AI (Amazon Q) into daily DevOps workflows to improve troubleshooting, auto-generate documentation, and validate infrastructure-as-code, which decreased MTTR and reduced configuration errors. I migrate and modernize pipelines—moving Jenkins to GitLab CI/CD and modularizing workflows into GitHub Actions—to improve maintainability and release velocity.
I build and maintain production-grade Kubernetes platforms, Helm charts, and GitOps pipelines with ArgoCD, while enforcing security through RBAC, automated image scanning, and policy-as-code practices. I also implement observability and monitoring using CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog to ensure operational reliability.
I automate provisioning and configuration with Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, and scripting (Bash, PowerShell, Python), integrate artifact and vulnerability scanning with JFrog Artifactory/Xray and SonarQube, and collaborate closely with development and QA teams to deliver high-quality, resilient systems.
