What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) role where I can build and improve production infrastructure, automate delivery pipelines, enhance reliability, and scale cloud platforms. I enjoy working with Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, observability, and cloud security in product-focused engineering teams that value ownership and automation.

DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of experience designing, automating, and operating production cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and observability solutions. Experienced in AWS, Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, Argo CD, Helm, Linux, and GitOps, with a strong focus on reliability, security, and operational excellence.

Currently serving as the sole DevOps Engineer, owning end-to-end platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, production security, monitoring, and incident response. Led a zero-downtime cloud migration that reduced infrastructure costs by approximately 70%, standardized Kubernetes-based deployments, implemented Zero Trust access controls, and built SLI/SLO-driven observability using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Tempo.

Passionate about Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Infrastructure as Code, cloud automation, and building secure, scalable, and resilient systems that enable engineering teams to deliver software reliably.
