What I'm looking for

I want to deliver scalable, highly available cloud platforms by owning Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, and Kubernetes operations. I’m looking to partner closely with engineering and SRE teams to improve reliability, security, observability, and cost performance.

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 10 years of experience building, automating, and optimizing cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes platforms for enterprise teams. I focus on Infrastructure as Code and GitOps to standardize provisioning, improve deployment traceability, and enable reliable rollbacks.

I’ve designed and operated Google Cloud Platform environments (Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL) while strengthening security with IAM and Cloud Armor. I also build proactive observability using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, and OpenTelemetry, and I drive cost optimization through resource utilization analysis and performance tuning.
