What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own secure, observable multi-cloud infrastructure—building IaC and CI/CD pipelines, improving reliability, and partnering with developers on production debugging, incident response, and platform hardening.

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 9+ years of experience building cloud infrastructure across Azure, GCP, and AWS. I deliver repeatable deployments and operational excellence by combining Infrastructure as Code, automation, and strong CI/CD practices.

My work focuses on streamlining software delivery and improving reliability through Terraform and Ansible for consistent environments. I design and optimize GitLab CI/CD pipelines (plus related tooling) for automated builds, testing, security scanning, and deployments—reducing manual steps from merge to production.

I’m also deeply hands-on with containerized platforms, running Kubernetes workloads on Amazon EKS and deploying with Docker, Helm, and GitOps workflows (including ArgoCD). I drive observability and incident readiness using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, and the ELK stack—partnering with developers and operations teams to ship secure, observable systems.
