I build secure multi-cloud platforms and CI/CD systems that accelerate reliable software delivery.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've led DevOps and platform engineering work for SAP/Reltio, Dunn & Bradstreet, IPG/Acxiom, Oracle, Microsoft, and other enterprise organizations. At SAP/Reltio, I re-architected a Java DevOps API platform for multi-tenant testing, blue/green deployments, canary validation, and production A/B traffic testing, while delivering Kubernetes inspection and observability platforms across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
I've built CI/CD, DevSecOps, Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code, and release-engineering ecosystems that improve delivery safety, reliability, and cost efficiency. I also lead distributed teams, mentor engineers, author DevOps books including Mastering Jenkins and Implementing DevOps with Ansible 2, and bring hands-on experience with AI-agent workflows using Amazon Bedrock.
