What I'm looking for

I seek a cloud-focused DevOps/Infrastructure role where I can lead IaC, secure CI/CD, reporting automation, and developer enablement in an audit-conscious environment.

I am a Cloud-first Infrastructure and DevOps engineer with 10+ years designing and operating IaC-driven platforms, secure CI/CD pipelines, and enterprise reporting automation. I specialize in Azure DevOps administration, Bicep-based IaC, and Power BI deployment automation.

At Golub Capital I scaled Azure DevOps for 20+ projects, administered build agents across platforms, enforced SOX release controls, and reduced compute costs by performance tuning long-running reports. I also administered Checkmarx and Sonatype for package and vulnerability governance and implemented disaster recovery and API integrations via Azure API Management.

I enable developer productivity through tooling, AI integrations, onboarding runbooks, and documentation, and I have led reporting modernization, migrations to text-based Power BI versioning, and team-building efforts to transition reporting from consultants to an internal staffed team.
