What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps/SRE role where I can build secure, compliant cloud platforms with IaC, DevSecOps-driven CI/CD, and strong observability—improving reliability via SLI/SLO, automation, and zero-downtime releases.

I’m a seasoned DevOps Engineer & Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with 6+ years designing, deploying, and managing scalable, secure, and highly available cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure. I bring deep hands-on expertise in infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and CI/CD automation—Terraform, Ansible, container platforms, and robust deployment strategies that enable zero-downtime releases.

In my recent roles, I’ve architected multi-region, fault-tolerant environments for mission-critical financial transaction systems, improving uptime and reducing MTTR through strong observability (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, ELK, Splunk). I actively embed DevSecOps practices—secrets management, RBAC, security scanning, and compliance controls—while driving reliability through SLI/SLO monitoring, incident response, error budgeting, and runbook automation.
