What I'm looking for

I'm motivated by new challenges and opportunities to grow.

At SureSwift Capital, I own reliability, security, and cloud operations for a portfolio of 10+ SaaS products, working across modern and legacy production environments. I use AWS and infrastructure-as-code tools to manage and modernize these systems.

I build CI/CD workflows and operational automation with Jenkins and GitHub Actions, and lead vulnerability management across infrastructure and application dependencies. I also develop AI-assisted infrastructure automation with Claude Code, keeping human oversight for production changes.

At Equifax, I worked on cloud migrations, infrastructure deployment improvements, and cost reduction through automation and self-service. I also helped deploy microservices on GKE and added security measures to deployment pipelines.

Earlier, at Neustar, Inc. and National Instruments, I worked on platform migrations, build and deployment automation, and application monitoring. At National Instruments, I created Python and Selenium monitors for more than 40 web applications and integrated Icinga with Splunk.
