What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead platform reliability, mentor engineers, drive cloud migrations and automation, and foster a blameless, documentation-driven culture.

I am an engineering leader with 7+ years of experience building and mentoring platform and DevOps teams, driving migrations to containerized infrastructure, and improving operational efficiency across start-ups, scale-ups, and corporations. I champion automation, observability, and incident-management practices that reduce toil and improve reliability.

My track record includes leading migrations (database and networking), implementing monitoring and SRE tooling at scale, and cutting onboarding and deployment times through documentation and process improvements. I prioritize team development, blameless incident culture, and pragmatic cloud-native solutions to deliver high-availability production systems.
