Keneth Arias
@kenetharias
Senior DevOps engineer driving cloud efficiency, reliability, and developer velocity.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps engineer with deep multi-cloud expertise (AWS, Azure, GCP) and a strong focus on FinOps, SRE and scalable CI/CD. I design modular IaC, GitOps workflows, and self-service internal developer platforms to accelerate delivery and reduce operational overhead.
In production roles I led cloud-native architecture, container orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS/ECS), serverless patterns, and centralized security and governance for engineering organizations. I have driven measurable outcomes like 30% cost avoidance through FinOps initiatives and built robust observability, SLO/SLI programs and incident management practices.
I also train and mentor engineers, teaching practical DevOps tools and cultivating shared ownership and continuous improvement. I seek roles where I can architect resilient, cost-effective platforms and empower developer productivity.
