What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own reliability and platform outcomes—designing Kubernetes-based infrastructure, improving CI/CD and GitOps delivery, and scaling observability and DevSecOps while driving measurable FinOps savings.

I’m a Senior DevOps and Platform Engineer with 8+ years of experience designing, automating, and operating production-grade cloud-native platforms. I specialize in Kubernetes (GKE, kubeadm), Terraform, and GitOps (Argo CD), backed by strong Linux and CI/CD pipeline experience across AWS and GCP.

I deliver 99.9%+ uptime, 30–41% faster deployments, and measurable FinOps-driven cloud cost reductions across distributed microservices. I bring SRE and DevSecOps discipline to reliability, security, and observability—Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and Tempo included.

In my recent roles, I optimized CI/CD performance (including GitHub Actions tuning and caching) and enabled safer, faster releases through Argo CD and Helm. I’ve built multi-region GKE infrastructure with high availability, created developer self-service environments, and engineered full observability stacks to improve MTTR by 25%.

I also focus on end-to-end automation and operational excellence—everything from incident response and real-time troubleshooting to infrastructure automation with Terraform, Ansible, and scripting in Bash, Python, and Go. My approach is documentation-driven and team-enabling, supported by strong change management and secure authentication patterns like Workload Identity.
