What I'm looking for

I seek a cloud-first engineering role where I can lead infrastructure modernization, build resilient GitOps pipelines, and improve observability and security at scale within a collaborative, high-impact team.

I am a Senior DevOps engineer with extensive experience modernizing infrastructure, building GitOps pipelines, and ensuring ultra-low-latency performance for mission-critical systems.

At leading firms I have designed multi-region disaster recovery, implemented service mesh architectures, and automated provisioning with Terraform and Atlantis, improving availability and eliminating configuration drift across hundreds of services.

I deliver observability and security at scale—building Prometheus/Grafana and ELK pipelines, integrating Vault and IAM least-privilege, and reducing incident detection and deployment times through CI/CD and autoscaling designs.
