Site Reliability Engineer at Veriff who cut Triton model-load latency by 40% and built SLO monitoring for 18 production services.

United States
Message

At Veriff, I designed and deployed a production-grade AWS EKS platform with Terraform for identity-verification and machine-learning workloads. I also implemented Triton-on-EKS infrastructure that reduced model-load latency by 40%.

I built Prometheus and Grafana SLO dashboards for 18 production services, helping reduce MTTR by 35%. I also strengthened audit readiness by enabling control-plane logging across 41 EKS clusters and automating default EBS encryption across 12 AWS accounts.

At BillGO, I established SLOs and error-budget practices with development teams and led incident response and postmortems. Corrective actions reduced recurring production failures by 50%, while CI/CD modernization cut deployment time by 40%.

Earlier, I introduced SRE methods at Raytheon and automated software quality validation at Qorvo. My work spans cloud platforms, production reliability, and AI infrastructure, including Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, and Triton.
