At Chevron–Tengizchevroil, I support nine enterprise solutions across Azure PaaS, SaaS, and IaaS environments. I build ARM templates, automate deployments with Ansible, and implement CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps to streamline application delivery.

I configure Azure Monitor alerts, manage incidents through ServiceNow, uphold SLA compliance, and coordinate disaster recovery drills, backup testing, and production releases through Management of Change processes. I also integrate SAST/DAST tooling, enforce RBAC/IAM policies, manage secrets, and maintain audit-ready architecture, support, and DR documentation.

I've supervised and coached two junior DevOps engineers in troubleshooting, automation, and operational best practices. My background also includes optimization research, MATLAB data visualization and testing, Python-based numerical modeling, and strong academic work in computer science and applied mathematics.
