What I'm looking for

I seek senior DevOps/Cloud roles where I can architect resilient, automated multi-cloud platforms, optimize costs, drive SRE practices, and mentor engineering teams.

I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipeline design, and site reliability. I focus on building automated, high-availability systems that reduce cost and improve operational efficiency.

At Ideation I architected multi-cloud infrastructure using Terraform modules, implemented CI/CD for 20+ microservices enabling zero-downtime Kubernetes deployments, and enforced OPA/Rego security policies. I have mentored engineering teams, led legacy-to-serverless migrations, and integrated monitoring and observability to reduce incident response time.

I have hands-on expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK, Python scripting, IoT/ChirpStack, and computer vision (YOLO/OpenCV). I deliver pragmatic infrastructure-as-code, drive GitOps workflows, and enjoy mentoring teams to adopt best practices for resilient platforms.
