What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a mission-critical SRE/DevOps role where I can use AWS automation, Kubernetes, and observability to reduce MTTR, cut operational toil, and grow a blameless reliability culture with strong SLO/SLA ownership.

I’m a results-driven SRE with 5+ years architecting, scaling, and operating mission-critical cloud infrastructure on AWS at enterprise scale. I eliminate operational toil through Terraform IaC and Python/Bash automation, including 60% faster deployments, 50% MTTR reduction, and 50+GB/day Splunk cost savings.

I specialize in Kubernetes and containers, CI/CD with Jenkins, and observability stacks (New Relic, Splunk, VictorOps, Zabbix). I’ve engineered Splunk alerting and log filtering to cut alert noise, automated MySQL schema updates across 23,000+ production tables, and built multi-region resilient infrastructure patterns with high availability and fault tolerance.

I drive reliability culture through blameless post-mortems, mentoring SRE teams, and owning 24×7 on-call for global production environments. I also strengthen security posture with IAM least-privilege, TLS/SSL, and Secrets Manager best practices, while modernizing OS and upgrading messaging systems with zero service disruption.
