GCP Kubernetes infrastructure engineer delivering reliable systems with CI/CD and observability.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Infrastructure Software Engineer with a strong background in infrastructure and DevOps, specializing in GCP and Kubernetes. Since joining Protiviti (May 2021), I’ve driven improved system uptime by implementing effective monitoring and alerting, and I’ve enhanced deployment efficiency through Kubernetes and Docker.
I build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Jenkins, and I manage the observability stack with New Relic to reduce mean time to recovery during incidents. I partner with product and data engineering teams to define SLOs and SLIs, optimize Terraform for consistent infrastructure management, champion IAM and secrets management security, and run blameless post-mortems to prevent future outages.
