What I'm looking for

I seek remote SRE/DevOps roles (full-time or contract) focused on reliability, automation, observability, and large-scale distributed systems with collaborative, globally distributed teams.

I am a seasoned Site Reliability and DevOps Engineer with 20 years designing, automating and operating large-scale, high-availability systems across finance, trading, HFT and enterprise environments.

Since 2018 I have worked remotely with GSR, leading reliability, scalability and observability initiatives across distributed infrastructure, building HA systems, autoscaling, and multi-region database failover.

I've implemented observability stacks using Grafana, Prometheus, Loki and Alloy, automated Kubernetes deployments with Helm and FluxCD, and migrated logging pipelines to reduce latency and costs.

I bring deep experience in cloud, containers, automation and incident response, and I am open to remote SRE/DevOps roles where I can improve resilience, automation and operational efficiency.
