What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable cloud, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and AI infrastructure, lead technical initiatives, mentor engineers, and improve how teams deliver secure software at scale.

At Oracle, I operate OCI Kubernetes infrastructure across roughly 300 nodes and build the CI/CD ecosystem for WayFlow and Agent Spec. I deployed GPU-backed LLM platforms, built a Python code-review assistant that reduced review time by about 20%, and cut WayFlow regression pipeline time by about 60%.

Previously at HPS, I delivered hybrid cloud disaster recovery for around 90 Linux servers and automated AWS and VMware provisioning with Terraform, Ansible, and shell scripting, reducing provisioning time by about 70%. I also automated infrastructure for 56 microservices, deployed Kubernetes-based payment platforms, and improved Oracle query performance from seconds to milliseconds for major banking clients.

I'm motivated by practical platform engineering: reliable releases, secure cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, and clear operational documentation. I enjoy mentoring engineers, contributing to open-source workflows, and turning complex infrastructure into scalable systems teams can use confidently.
