What I'm looking for

I seek senior-level roles leading SRE/DevOps and cloud infrastructure efforts at companies valuing security-first practices, automation, and measurable reliability improvements.

I am a strategic DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with over 11 years building secure, scalable cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I focus on embedding operational excellence, observability, and automation into production environments to reduce MTTR and increase deployment velocity.

At Comcast I led multi-cloud CI/CD architecture, migrated monoliths to containerized microservices, and developed reusable Terraform modules and Ansible playbooks to standardize provisioning and compliance. I champion DevSecOps practices, integrating vulnerability scanning, secrets management, and compliance-as-code.

Previously I designed HIPAA-compliant cloud-native analytics platforms at GE Healthcare, automated infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible, and centralized logging with the ELK stack. I have owned SRE operations, created SLO dashboards, and implemented zero-downtime release strategies using blue/green and canary deployments.

I hold AWS, Kubernetes, and HashiCorp certifications, mentor engineering teams, and drive architectural improvements that deliver cost-efficient, resilient systems. I seek roles where I can lead reliability efforts, improve security posture, and scale cloud platforms with strong operational practices.
