At Tigera, I architect and operate cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and optimize enterprise Kubernetes platforms using Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE.

I engineer CI/CD and GitOps pipelines that reduced deployment cycles by up to 70%, and develop reusable infrastructure-as-code solutions that reduced manual operational effort by 80%.

I also strengthen security and reliability through DevSecOps and observability practices. At Tigera, improvements to SRE capabilities reduced MTTR by up to 60%; previously, at Harness, I worked on cloud reliability and delivery pipelines, and at Gremlin, I automated infrastructure and operational workflows.
