What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead DevOps/SRE initiatives building highly available cloud and Kubernetes platforms, owning CI/CD and IaC, improving monitoring/logging, and enabling teams to ship faster while staying within SLAs.

I’m a DevOps Architect focused on multi-tier and microservices environments, with an emphasis on implementing and managing CI/CD for cloud and on-prem setups. My work centers on leading reliability efforts that protect availability and help teams achieve SLAs.

I’ve led agile SRE teams to ensure infrastructure and services stay reliable and performant, while collaborating with development teams to optimize reliability, speed-to-market, and operational outcomes. I’ve spearheaded multiple production deployments of Java and PHP applications using CI/CD mechanisms, automating build, testing, and deployment end-to-end, and reducing costs through large-scale automation and operational tooling.

Across roles, I’ve owned infrastructure delivery using Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, CloudFormation, and configuration management with Ansible and Puppet, and I’ve managed Kubernetes clusters including upgrades, scaling, and workload orchestration. I bring strong observability practices with monitoring and logging stacks, and I’m driven by continuous improvement—so teams ship confidently with clear metrics, automation, and dependable operations.
