I build secure, observable AWS and Kubernetes platforms that reduce costs and accelerate incident response.

At Novo, I build a unified observability stack with Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager, cutting incident detection and response time by 50%. I also optimized AWS usage to reduce costs by 20%, saving more than $90,000 annually.

Previously at EPAM Systems, I led SRE work across more than eight projects and six production Kubernetes clusters. I standardized GitLab CI pipelines, improved observability with New Relic and Datadog, and used EKS autoscaling to optimize costs by 40%.

I've also built cloud infrastructure and CI/CD systems at Globant and Valid using AWS, Terraform, CDK, Python, and Kubernetes. I focus on automation, reliable operations, security, and practical improvements that help teams ship efficiently.
