What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own multi-cloud Kubernetes platforms end-to-end—secure, reliable, and cost-efficient—using Terraform and automation. I want strong observability, fast CI/CD, and real impact through production operations.

I help companies build secure, cost-efficient, and reliable cloud systems from scratch. I own infrastructure end-to-end—designing multi-cloud architectures, codifying them with Terraform/OpenTofu, and running production Kubernetes clusters with strong day-2 operational discipline.

In my current role, I manage AWS + GCP infrastructure and keep deployments consistent with reusable IaC module design, remote-state and lock management, drift control, and hub-and-spoke DNS. I migrated core production services from ECS to EKS, including Terraform-based provisioning for ALB target groups, RDS security-group rules, and IRSA-based workload identity.

I build automation that reduces friction for engineering teams: standardized deployment patterns (ECR, IngressRoute, IRSA, ExternalSecret), CI/CD via GitHub Actions (Android/iOS), and a self-hosted macOS ARM64 runner for iOS builds with Fastlane and TestFlight delivery. I also designed observability from the ground up—Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and OpenObserve—to improve metrics, logs, and alerting for high availability.

I’m equally focused on secure access and operational scalability. I administer AWS IAM Identity Center (permission sets, cross-account access, CodeArtifact policies) and Cloudflare Zero Trust to enforce least-privilege access, and I’ve delivered automation like onboarding/offboarding pipelines (Slack → Zapier → Google Workspace, Slack, Atlassian, Keeper SCIM) to eliminate manual provisioning per hire.
