What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build zero-downtime Kubernetes platforms, strengthen IaC and CI/CD, and elevate observability and incident response—aligned with DevSecOps, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

I’m an accomplished DevOps, Cloud, and Site Reliability Engineer with 8+ years designing, securing, and scaling enterprise-grade infrastructure. I build automation-heavy, resilient cloud-native environments and bring strong expertise in Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and incident response.

In my recent work, I spearheaded zero-downtime deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions and ArgoCD, architected global CDN-integrated Kubernetes infrastructure to reduce latency, and improved compliance through Terraform Cloud and AWS Config. I’ve also scaled observability with Datadog and Sentry—driving a 45% reduction in MTTD—while co-leading an SRE excellence program to improve on-call efficiency and postmortem practices.
