What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can build secure, reliable cloud platforms, improve CI/CD delivery, strengthen observability and resilience, and partner closely with engineering and security teams.

I've built and operated cloud platforms at Amazon.com, Centific, and Vervenest Technologies, with a focus on secure CI/CD, Kubernetes reliability, and infrastructure automation.

At Amazon, I operated multi-environment EKS platforms, implemented SLO/SLI dashboards with Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry, and deployed BigPanda across CloudWatch, Datadog, and PagerDuty to reduce alert noise by 70%. I also automated IAM and S3 compliance monitoring with Lambda, ran resilience experiments with AWS Fault Injection Simulator, and embedded SAST and SCA scans into delivery pipelines.

At Vervenest Technologies, I built an AWS multi-account landing zone with Terraform, cutting manual provisioning by 90%, and automated microservice onboarding to reduce deployment lead time to under 15 minutes. I also standardized cross-cloud deployments across AWS EKS, Azure AKS, and GCP GKE using Terraform, Helm, and ArgoCD.

In my current role at Centific, I architect CI/CD workflows in Azure DevOps, automate Azure infrastructure with Terraform and ARM templates, and support containerized workloads with Docker and Kubernetes. I bring hands-on experience in cloud migrations, Azure governance, IAM, observability, container security, and production reliability.
