What I'm looking for

I seek a senior DevOps/cloud role where I can lead automation, design secure scalable infrastructure, mentor engineers, and drive cost-optimized, highly available deployments in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a DevOps specialist and cloud architect with 8+ years of experience designing, automating, and optimizing mission-critical deployments on AWS and GCP. I specialize in CI/CD, Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud security, and I bridge development and operations to deliver high-performing systems.

I have led teams to accelerate delivery—achieving 50% faster deployments—implemented blockchain deployment frameworks with automated security and compliance checks, and built monitoring solutions with Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK to reduce incident response times.

My work emphasizes cost optimization, high availability, and automation: migrating legacy systems to the cloud to reduce costs, implementing HA/DR strategies, and provisioning infrastructure with Terraform and CloudFormation to improve reliability and scalability.
