What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build secure, automated cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes platforms using IaC, CI/CD, GitOps, and strong observability—delivering measurable reliability, governance, and cost improvements in production.

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 8+ years of experience architecting, migrating, and operating secure, scalable, and automated cloud infrastructure across airline, telecommunications, retail, and software environments. I specialize in AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD automation, GitOps, Infrastructure as Code, observability, virtualization, and platform operations.

I’ve delivered enterprise cloud migrations and platform builds, including multi-account AWS environments, Kubernetes platforms, and automation that reduces manual effort while improving consistency. In recent work, I built tagging governance across 90+ AWS accounts and used centralized reporting to drive compliance and remediation workflows.

I’m hands-on with infrastructure and application delivery: deploying repeatable environments with Terraform/Terragrunt, standardizing Kubernetes releases with Helm, and implementing CI/CD pipelines and version-controlled workflows. I’ve also built observability platforms with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and alerting to improve near real-time visibility and operational response.

I’m motivated by measurable outcomes—near-zero downtime migrations, improved performance and reliability, and cost optimization (including ~20% and ~30% reductions in prior initiatives). I bring a security-and-governance mindset through IAM, AWS Organizations/SCPs, and workload hardening with services like Azure WAF.
