What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles building cloud-native, secure, cost-efficient systems with strong DevOps practices, team mentorship, and measurable operational impact.

I am a technology leader with 11 years' experience architecting scalable, secure, and cost-efficient solutions on AWS and Kubernetes, driving microservices and event-driven designs, and optimizing CI/CD with Terraform and GitHub Actions. I have led teams, mentored engineers, and delivered measurable business impact through migrations, automation, and security improvements.

My hands-on achievements include building a Golang document classifier (90% accuracy), an AI call-analysis service, and a high-throughput email system supporting 5M+ emails/day; I focus on operational efficiency, cost reduction, and delivering production-grade systems that meet compliance and reliability goals.
