Darius Davis
@dariusdavis3
Senior Cloud and DevOps engineer driving secure, cost-efficient cloud transformations.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Cloud Architect and DevOps Engineer with over 14 years of experience designing, implementing, and optimizing scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud solutions across Azure, AWS, and GCP.
I have deep hands-on expertise with Kubernetes, Terraform, IaC, CI/CD tooling, and observability platforms, and I’ve led migrations and modernization efforts that produced measurable savings and reliability improvements.
Notable achievements include boosting engineering productivity by 35%, delivering over $3M in annual cost savings, and architecting multi-cloud landing zones and high-availability Kubernetes platforms that reduced provisioning errors and rollback times substantially.
I mentor cross-functional teams, drive FinOps and security/compliance initiatives (SOX, SOC2, HIPAA, ISO 27001), and prioritize automation, governance, and measurable business outcomes in every engagement.
