What I'm looking for

I seek a security-focused DevOps role where I can automate cloud infrastructure, strengthen CI/CD and DevSecOps, collaborate cross-functionally, and scale resilient systems.

I am a DevOps Engineer with a strong security-first mindset and proven success automating cloud infrastructure across multi-cloud environments. I focus on Infrastructure as Code, container orchestration, and hardened CI/CD to deliver reliable, repeatable deployments.

At SPECTRE I designed secure CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Terraform, reduced deployment times by 40%, and automated AWS provisioning to cut environment setup times by 70%. I built and deployed 15+ microservices on Docker and EKS, maintaining 99.9% uptime and horizontal scalability.

My background includes hands-on vulnerability assessment, integrating Trivy and Snyk into pipelines to lower container vulnerabilities by 45%, and centralized monitoring with Splunk and Prometheus to improve incident response by 35%. I’ve also developed ML operational workflows, including a FastAPI spam-detection auto-retraining pipeline using Lambda and SageMaker.

I bring cross-team collaboration, leadership, and a security-focused approach to fast-paced environments, with certifications spanning ISC2, CCNA, CompTIA Security+, AWS, and multiple security specializations that reinforce compliance and resilience.
