What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a DevOps Engineer position at GDIT, where I can apply my platform engineering and cloud security skills to support technology solutions and mission services across the U.S. government and defense community. I’m available for consulting, subcontracting, and international remote delivery engagements.

At BMW IT Hub ZA, I integrated security into CI/CD across development, test, and production, cutting daily platform incidents and tickets from 100 to under 20. I also migrated Jenkins to GitHub, freeing 30% capacity and reducing deployment time from one hour to 15 minutes.

At Wonderlabz, I engineered a GKE platform supporting more than 165 microservices across three regions and helped maintain MTTR below 15 minutes. I’m available for consulting, subcontracting, and international remote delivery engagements in cloud, data, integration, and platform engineering.
