At Verizon Data Services, I led GitLab CI/CD automation for 500+ microservices, increasing deployment frequency by 60% and reducing lead time by 50%. I orchestrated VNFs and CNFs across Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, and OpenStack, including an HPE Subscriber Profile Controller deployment with 22 VNFs.
I've built zero-touch Ansible automation, automated 95% of provisioning and configuration, and improved incident detection through New Relic monitoring. My cloud engineering work spans telecom network transformation, vRAN deployments, security policies, Blue/Green and Canary releases, and technical leadership across teams of up to five engineers.
