What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead DevOps/SRE work building secure “Golden Paths,” multi-cloud delivery, and automation that keeps systems high-availability and audit-ready (HIPAA/PCI). I want to modernize platforms without slowing engineering teams.

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 12+ years of experience in distributed systems and cloud infrastructure across observability, fintech, and healthcare. As a Technical Lead for internal developer platforms, I specialize in building “Golden Paths” that standardized delivery for large-scale engineering organizations, so teams can ship faster without losing control.

At Walmart Health, I built internal “Paved Paths” to make cloud setup one-click, architected a multi-region Azure migration for Epic EHR, and led an “Invisible Multi-Cloud” strategy across Azure and GCP to reduce vendor lock-in and enable failover. I also established LLMOps infrastructure for agentic AI features and implemented Security-as-Code that automates HIPAA and HITRUST checks to block non-compliant deployments in real time; earlier, I led PayPal’s shift from a C++ monolith to microservices, designed GraphQL APIs for Braintree, and automated PCI compliance within CI/CD pipelines.

Built the internal Paved Paths platform and one-click CI/CD templates to help thousands of developers deploy across clouds faster with baked-in security. Architected a multi-region Azure migration for Epic EHR for millions of users, led Azure/GCP multi-cloud failover to prevent outages, and implemented Security-as-Code to block HIPAA/HITRUST non-compliant deployments in real time.

Led the shift from a 20-year C++ monolith to a microservices ecosystem, using Golden Paths and deployment templates to enable 2,500+ daily deployments. Built a Node.js/Docker Scale Platform and a unified Braintree GraphQL API for 50+ markets (cutting integration complexity by 30%), and implemented PCI security gating in CI/CD while maintaining 99.99% availability during Venmo traffic spikes.

Rewrote the core agent from Python to Go to remove a scaling bottleneck, cutting memory footprint by about 50% to handle heavier workloads. Modernized integrations by moving to AWS IAM roles, managing data pipelines with Kafka and Cassandra to keep ingestion latency under 1 second, and using Terraform/Jenkins Golden Paths to reduce staging setup time to under 15 minutes.
