What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own production-grade cloud systems end-to-end—building AWS infrastructure, CI/CD, and observability (OpenTelemetry, Loki/Tempo) with strong security and reliability. I want teams where fast incident diagnosis and measurable improvements matter.

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 2+ years of industry experience owning production cloud infrastructure, observability platforms, mobile DevOps pipelines, and CI/CD automation for a HIPAA-regulated international telehealth product. I independently diagnose and resolve complex production incidents and design custom AWS architectures from scratch.

In my current role, I’m solely responsible for DevOps, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering across Production, SIT, and QA environments. I migrated log observability to dedicated Grafana + Loki + Promtail stacks, built a custom controller–worker architecture from scratch, and implemented automated CircleCI + AWS ECR CI/CD with rollback-ready tagging. I standardize structured JSON logging across services and instrument polyglot microservices with OpenTelemetry (Tempo tracing + Loki logs) so engineers can connect traces and logs in one click.

I also deliver end-to-end mobile DevOps with Expo EAS—setting up app signing, provisioning, OTA updates, and release workflows to cut build/deploy time and monthly costs dramatically. Along the way, I’ve completed production forensic investigations, identified security gaps, and helped strengthen compliance and infrastructure design documentation.
