What I'm looking for

I seek senior-level roles driving cloud automation, CI/CD and IaC in collaborative teams that value reliability, security, and measurable cost optimization.

I am a Lead DevOps Engineer with 10+ years’ experience designing cloud-native, automated infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and delivering scalable CI/CD systems that reduce deployment times and improve reliability. I have led and mentored DevOps teams, architected multi-environment pipelines for complex microservice architectures, and enforced DevSecOps practices to integrate security into every stage of delivery.

My work centers on infrastructure as code, containerization with Kubernetes and Docker, and observability-driven operations that enable enterprise-grade uptime and cost optimization. I have driven incident response and disaster recovery planning, implemented performance tuning and modernization initiatives, and evaluated next-generation tooling including GitOps and AI-driven monitoring to advance business agility.
