What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote roles where I can apply my experience in project management, DevOps, software development, system administration, AI, QA (automation & manual), and database administration — ideally in collaborative, innovation-driven environments.

I am a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Architect with deep hands-on experience in OpenStack, Kubernetes, VMware Aria and cloud automation who drives reliability and cost savings—delivering 99.9% uptime, $2M+ infrastructure savings and leading 50+ cloud migrations. I combine infrastructure expertise with DevOps automation (Terraform, Ansible, Chef, Python) to standardize environments, reduce provisioning time, and harden security while mentoring high-performing teams.

My background includes leading large-scale database and platform modernizations (Oracle 11g→19c, real-time ACH integration), managing teams of engineers using Agile practices, and implementing IaC and CI/CD to accelerate deployments. I am seeking remote senior/principal roles where I can architect scalable cloud solutions, drive further cost and performance gains, and grow engineering capabilities.
