What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role to architect cloud-native systems, lead DevOps automation, modernize legacy platforms, and deliver measurable performance and security improvements within a collaborative, results-driven team.

My toolkit includes .NET, Python, Go, and JavaScript/TypeScript with React, Angular, Vue.js, and Node.js, making me a versatile force across both infrastructure and software development. I’m a DevOps maestro with a flair for turning operational chaos into a symphony of automation and efficiency. Whether it’s DevOps, DevSecOps, MLOps, GitOps, or even InfraOps, if it has an ‘Ops’ in it, I’ve probably mastered it. I build rock-solid CI/CD pipelines, architect scalable cloud solutions in Azure, AWS, and GCP, and orchestrate seamless deployments with Docker and Kubernetes. From APIs to ETL, Database management, and GIS integrations, I optimize, automate, and secure everything I touch, ensuring that high performance isn’t just an aspiration—it’s a standard.
