What I'm looking for

I thrive in lean, fast-moving teams where I can own architecture, execution, and cost, bringing enterprise-grade rigor to startup speed. I’m especially interested in applying AI agents and LLM-powered tooling to AIOps, developer self-service, and infrastructure automation.

At NTT DATA Global Delivery Services, I own platform strategy for a 50+ microservice GitOps environment serving British Telecom, Hilton Hotels, and Deutsche Bank. I delivered zero-downtime releases and helped move deployments from daily to hourly while keeping change failure rates under 5%.

I also established a multi-cloud FinOps practice that realized $280K in annual savings across 200+ clusters, and deployed an LLM-powered platform assistant that cut Tier-1 ticket triage time by 40%. At System Plus Transformation LLP, I modernized CI/CD for TUI Group and helped maintain 99.99% uptime for its platform.
