What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a mission-critical team where I can build secure cloud infrastructure, automate CI/CD with IaC, and optimize backend and embedded system performance—driving high uptime and reliability.

I’m a senior software engineer with over a decade of expertise in backend, embedded systems, and cloud-native DevOps. I build scalable architectures, automate CI/CD pipelines, and manage AWS/Azure environments to maintain near-perfect uptime. In agile settings, I focus on secure, mission-critical solutions and strong cross-functional collaboration.

Most recently at SCATR, I designed containerized CI testing infrastructure with Docker, improved QA output by 30%, and automated multi-tier provisioning and orchestration using Infrastructure as Code, reducing manual configuration by 70%. I also managed EC2, load balancers, and Ubuntu VMs to achieve 99.99% uptime, and improved device connectivity reliability by 40% through custom multi-modem failover strategies.

Earlier, I led large-scale configuration management for networks at Vertical Knowledge, managing 200 routers across 30 sites and improving stability and reliability by 25–30%. At Alula, I engineered multithreaded C routing services for 250,000 embedded security devices (reducing crashes by 20%), migrated legacy systems to new network architectures, and handled root-cause analysis for 15 production outages while coordinating CI/CD deployments for mission-critical systems.
