What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cloud infrastructure and SRE initiatives, implement IaC/CI-CD automation, mentor teams, and drive security and cost-optimized, highly available systems.

I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with 11+ years designing, implementing, and optimizing secure, high-availability cloud infrastructures across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I deliver CI/CD automation, Infrastructure as Code, container orchestration, and SRE-driven observability to improve uptime, reduce MTTR, and cut cloud costs.

I have led cloud modernization and migration projects, built modular Terraform and Ansible frameworks, integrated DevSecOps tooling, and mentored engineering teams to adopt automation-first practices. My work includes achieving HIPAA/SOC2 compliance, implementing feature-flag and release strategies, and delivering measurable improvements in deployment speed, reliability, and cost efficiency.
