What I'm looking for

I seek senior cloud/DevOps roles where I can build scalable, secure infrastructure, drive automation, mentor teams, and deliver measurable cost and operational improvements.

I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with deep experience architecting multi-cloud platforms, implementing infrastructure as code, and automating CI/CD pipelines to drive reliable, cost-efficient operations.

I have led migrations to Terraform, built containerized workloads on EKS/ECS/Lambda, created observability and cost-management tooling, and integrated GenAI capabilities into cloud-native applications to deliver measurable business value.

I mentor engineers, establish organization-wide DevOps practices, and have delivered internal developer platforms and MVP cloud platforms that enable rapid, secure innovation.
