I’m a DevSecOps Engineer with 5+ years of experience architecting and securing high-scale AWS cloud environments. I focus on bridging rapid deployment with robust protection through Shift-Left security, Compliance-as-Code, and automation-first delivery.

In my recent role as Sr. DevOps Engineer at Hilti Asia IT Service, I engineered secure, scalable AWS environments using Terraform and CloudFormation, integrating Checkov for shift-left security scanning to catch misconfigurations before deployment. I also built production runbooks to standardize operational procedures, helping maintain high availability and reduce human error during maintenance windows.

I orchestrate end-to-end release management with a security-first mindset, coordinating across cross-functional teams to ensure secure, low-risk deployments into production. For observability and reliability, I leverage Datadog and CloudWatch for monitoring and dashboards, and manage incident lifecycles via ServiceNow to meet SLA requirements.

Previously, I worked as a Site Reliability Engineer and DevOps Engineer across AWS infrastructure, build automation, and CI/CD. I managed Kubernetes workloads on ECS and EKS, implemented GitOps workflows with ArgoCD, and established CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins (JCasC), GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions—then extended that foundation with automated deployments and proactive monitoring using Grafana, Prometheus, and Datadog.
