What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, resilient cloud-native platforms, automate delivery and operations, and improve reliability, performance, and cost efficiency through DevSecOps and platform engineering.

At First City Monument Bank, I build and operate secure cloud infrastructure for high-volume financial transactions across AWS, Azure, and hybrid environments. I improved system reliability by 30%, reduced infrastructure costs by 15%, and cut environment setup time from days to hours through Terraform.

I integrate security gates with Snyk, Trivy, and SonarQube, maintain AKS/EKS clusters, and build CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps. My work spans Kubernetes, observability with Prometheus and Grafana, Python/Bash automation, and resilient backend platforms.
