What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own DevOps + security modernization—governed AWS multi-account platforms, Terraform automation, secure enterprise identity/access, and reliable CI/CD—while improving production reliability through incident-driven engineering.

I’m a Senior DevOps & Security Engineer with 20+ years of experience delivering enterprise infrastructure operations, Linux/Windows administration, cloud engineering, DevOps automation, and identity/security solutions. I design, deploy, automate, and secure AWS infrastructure using Terraform, Kubernetes/EKS, and CI/CD pipelines to support reliable, large-scale production workloads across hybrid and cloud-native platforms.

I’ve led enterprise AWS governance and infrastructure modernization with AWS Organizations, Control Tower, and IAM federation, including SCIM-based user provisioning and lifecycle automation. I’m also driven by security and compliance—implementing MFA, conditional access, CIS hardening alignment, and Windows endpoint governance with Microsoft Intune—while partnering across teams to improve deployment reliability, reduce risk, and handle production incidents with clear root-cause ownership.
