What I'm looking for

I want senior observability/DevOps roles where I can architect Dynatrace-driven monitoring, automate CI/CD and telemetry, collaborate with Agile teams, reduce MTTR, and support cloud-native environments (willing to work on-call/rotational shifts).

I am an Observability Engineer with 18 years of IT experience focused on planning, installing and administering application servers and APM/observability tools including Dynatrace ONE, Grail, OpenTelemetry, Splunk, Azure and AWS.

I have led large migrations and implementations (including migrating more than 1,800 applications to Dynatrace SaaS), built CI/CD and automation with Terraform and Ansible, created dashboards, alerts, SLO/SLI baselines and DQL queries, and driven incident response to reduce MTTR.

I hold Dynatrace and AWS certifications, work effectively in on-call and rotational shifts, and collaborate cross-functionally to design observability strategies, enable instrumentation, and automate monitoring across cloud and on‑prem environments.
