What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to build self-service cloud platforms, resilient GitOps delivery systems, and strong developer experience while collaborating in async-first, globally distributed engineering teams.

I'm relocating to Dublin and currently co-architecting internal platform engineering at Toptal, allocated at Fashion Digital. I import legacy Kafka resources into Terraform and build version-controlled self-service infrastructure pipelines that replace outdated deployment applications.

At Arista Networks, I engineered zero-touch disaster recovery for the corporate website with Python and GitHub Actions, reducing execution from hours to under 10 minutes. I also built scalable Jenkins, Terraform, and Ansible self-service infrastructure that reduced development environment setup to 15 minutes.

Across consulting, DevOps, data engineering, and full-stack roles, I've led cloud migrations to AWS and GCP, established GitOps with ArgoCD and Kubernetes, built observability platforms, and mentored three distributed remote teams. I bring hands-on experience from backend and data pipelines through platform architecture, with an async-first approach to engineering culture.
