What I'm looking for

I’m looking to keep building and operating Azure + AKS platforms with Terraform and GitOps, while running DevSecOps-gated CI/CD, strong observability, and hands-on Sev incident ownership with clear RCA and SLA discipline.

I build and run enterprise-grade Azure infrastructure at TELUS Digital, provisioning Terraform-based Landing Zones, hub-spoke networking, and HA/DR using Azure Load Balancer, Application Gateway, Site Recovery, and Backup.

I manage production AKS cluster lifecycles end to end, using ArgoCD GitOps, Helm for microservices deployments, and NGINX Ingress with TLS routing. I enforce Kubernetes Network Policies and Pod Security Standards, and troubleshoot issues like CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, and scheduling/DNS failures.

I also modernize CI/CD across Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, with mandatory DevSecOps gates using Checkov, TFSec, and TFLint. I’ve owned Sev-1/Sev-2 incident management with RCA completion and built observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK Stack, and Azure Monitor.
