What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps/SRE leadership role in a hybrid cloud environment where I can own reliability, observability, and CI/CD, drive automation that lowers AWS spend, and mentor engineering teams to ship consistently.

I’m a Red Hat Certified (RHCE/RHCSA) and AWS-trained DevOps Lead with 12+ years of experience across system administration, infrastructure management, site reliability engineering, and cloud operations. I’m known for running 24/7 NOC operations, improving reliability through observability, and tightening delivery with ArgoCD-based GitOps.

I lead incident management end-to-end—triaging tickets, driving escalation, documenting RCA, and running post-mortems that help reduce MTTR. From Terraform and Ansible IaC to Kubernetes orchestration (on-prem and AWS EKS), I focus on automation that improves operational efficiency and reduces AWS costs through right-sizing and scalable, secure infrastructure.
