Senior AI Platform and Reliability Engineer with 16+ years in Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, automation, and AI governance.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Platform and Reliability Engineer with more than 16 years of experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, systems engineering, and production operations. I specialise in building secure, scalable, and reliable platforms across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
My experience includes Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, CI/CD, cloud networking, IAM, databases, observability, incident response, and Linux automation with Python and Bash. I have supported more than 30 Kubernetes clusters, helped migrate over 200 microservices to Kubernetes, and operated platforms with 99.99% availability. I also lead technical initiatives, make architecture decisions, mentor engineers, and coordinate the resolution of complex production incidents.
A major focus of my recent work is AI platform engineering and governance. I designed an enterprise AI control plane that acts as a secure front door for AI services. It provides identity and access enforcement, model routing, security guardrails, policy controls, observability, and spend governance. I am also interested in agent-based automation that improves platform operations, security, and software delivery.
I am looking for a remote Senior, Staff, or Lead Platform Engineering, SRE, DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, or AI Platform role. I am particularly interested in Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, GitOps, observability, platform security, AI governance, and technical leadership. I enjoy solving difficult infrastructure problems, reducing operational toil, and building platforms that help engineering teams deliver safely and efficiently.
