What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own platform-level quality end-to-end—QA automation in Go, CI/CD quality gates, IaC-backed validation, and release governance with GO/NO-GO decisions and rollback safety in high-velocity, regulated environments.

I’m a T-shaped engineer with 13 years spanning QA automation, DevOps, and release governance—the arc from hands-on test engineering to platform-level quality ownership this role calls for. I’m proud to have been the sole architect of a Go unit-test suite for an internal deployment platform, later evolving into DevOps platform validation ownership.

In DevOps, I built CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and release processes that the platform is validated against today. I define standards and reusable tooling adopted across multiple engineering teams, and I operate with GO/NO-GO release gates and rollback procedures in environments that demand zero-defect tolerance.

I’ve maintained and evolved Jenkins and GitHub Actions delivery workflows, automated platform validation and operational processes with Ansible and Terraform on AWS, and continued to run the internal Go-based deployment application that underpins release execution across the platform. I also partner cross-functionally to keep cross-component changes safe to ship.

My approach blends rigorous testing across unit, integration, API, smoke, functional, and regression coverage with infrastructure-aware engineering. I’m also an active daily user of AI-assisted workflows (GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT) to accelerate engineering while governing quality for agentic and spec-driven development.
