What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can build and operate secure, automated, multi-region cloud platforms, drive infrastructure-as-software, and mentor teams toward resilient, observable systems.

I am a DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with over six years of experience designing and operating high-scale cloud-native platforms and resilient distributed systems. I build Infrastructure-as-Software, custom Kubernetes controllers, and self-healing ecosystems, and I have a proven track record executing zero-downtime migrations of stateful workloads to modern, multi-region cloud architectures.

My work emphasizes automation, security, and reliability: I have engineered multi-region EKS control planes, implemented just-in-time node provisioning, replaced kube-proxy with Cilium/eBPF, and delivered SOC2-compliant internal developer platforms. I optimize performance and cost while driving platform-level observability, incident readiness, and policy-as-code governance.
