What I'm looking for

I seek a senior cloud/DevOps role to lead multi-cloud architecture, automation, and DevSecOps, drive cost-efficiency, mentor teams, and improve reliability in a collaborative, growth-focused organization.

I am a results-driven Senior Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 14+ years designing, implementing, and optimizing scalable cloud solutions across Azure, AWS, and GCP. I focus on secure, cost-efficient architectures and automation to align technical strategy with business goals.

I have a strong record of measurable impact — improving engineering productivity by 35% and delivering over $3M in annual cost savings through automation, rightsizing, and cloud-native solutions. I have led large migrations and hybrid cloud transformations that improved reliability and reduced spend.

My technical strengths include IaC (Terraform, ARM), Kubernetes (AKS/EKS/GKE), CI/CD modernization (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD), and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk). I implement governance, FinOps, and DevSecOps practices to ensure compliance, security, and fast, repeatable delivery.

I mentor cross-functional teams and partner with stakeholders to drive platform modernization, resilience, and operational efficiency. I am motivated to lead cloud initiatives that reduce costs, shorten release cycles, and improve security and availability.
