What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps/SRE role where I can build reliable Kubernetes platforms using Terraform, CI/CD, GitOps, and strong observability—driving SLOs, reducing MTTR, and improving deployment speed with less operational toil.

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer and SRE with 6+ years building and scaling AWS-native, Kubernetes-based platforms across fintech, telecoms, and e-commerce. I focus on Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, CI/CD automation, and platform engineering—using SRE practices to improve reliability and reduce operational toil.

In my recent roles, I architected CI/CD pipelines supporting 50+ microservices across multiple Kubernetes clusters, improving deployment reliability and reducing rollback incidents by ~40%. I’ve implemented SLO-based alerting and incident command to cut MTTR by ~35%, strengthened observability with Prometheus/Grafana/Loki/ELK and OpenTelemetry, and applied autoscaling and disaster-recovery practices to sustain 99.9%+ availability while lowering over-provisioning and cloud costs.
