Message

At Advance Auto Parts, I operate OpenShift clusters on ARO and ROSA and Kubernetes clusters on GKE. I standardized the upgrade process across these platforms, delivering upgrades without unplanned downtime.

I moved platform and application deployments to GitOps with ArgoCD, and centralized secrets in Azure Key Vault and AWS Secrets Manager. Before this, I supported mission-critical banking infrastructure at BA Continuum Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (Bank of America), including OpenShift operations under stringent audit and compliance controls.
