What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote or global remote roles where I can build secure, automated cloud platforms, improve reliability, and collaborate across distributed engineering teams.

At DTONE, I built and operated multi-cloud infrastructure for a global, multi-region fintech product, automating AWS environments with Terraform, Terragrunt, Terramate, Ansible, and GitLab CI/CD.

I run production Kubernetes and ECS workloads, build observability and automated remediation with Grafana, Datadog, EventBridge, and CloudWatch, and strengthen security through AWS WAF, GuardDuty, Tenable, and policy controls. My automation reduced provisioning time by 70%+ and achieved 90%+ automation coverage across AWS infrastructure services.

I also bring hands-on datacenter, network, and cloud-migration experience across Dell, HP, Cisco, FortiGate, AWS, and Azure. Most recently, I delivered a multi-tenant Gym Management SaaS platform on Amazon EKS for clients in the Middle East and Australia.
