I’m a Strategic Platform Engineering Lead & DevSecOps Architect with 10+ years of enterprise IT experience, including 7 years in cloud architecture and 5 years leading DevSecOps platform strategy. I started with bare-metal infrastructure management, and today I channel that depth into building resilient platforms that teams can trust and scale.

I spearheaded enterprise-wide CI/CD modernization across Azure and AWS—standardizing release frameworks and accelerating deployment velocity by 40% across 50+ micro services. I architected zero-downtime Blue-Green/Canary strategies, enforcing automated governance and compliance gates that reduced production rollback rates by 10%, while deploying Infrastructure as Code to cut provisioning from days to minutes.

On the security and reliability side, I drive “Shift-Left” DevSecOps by integrating SAST/SCA tooling (Prisma, SonarQube, WhiteSource, Fortify) into developer workflows, aiming for secure delivery without slowing releases. I architect highly available Kubernetes ecosystems (AKS/EKS), apply FinOps cost optimizations, and set SLIs/SLOs to proactively manage health—meeting 4-hour incident SLAs and reducing MTTR through strong observability with Azure Monitor, AWS CloudWatch, and Splunk.
