What I'm looking for

I’m open to Staff or Principal Platform, SRE, and Cloud Infrastructure opportunities across Europe, where I can shape reliable production platforms, guide technical direction, and drive modernization at enterprise scale.

At Dish Network Technologies, I lead architectural direction, platform governance, and reliability metrics across company-wide production environments. I translate business priorities into resilient infrastructure designs alongside product directors and client stakeholders.

I’ve owned SRE infrastructure deployment and operations for multi-cluster Kubernetes, Argo CD continuous delivery, and fault-tolerant Confluent Kafka platforms. I’ve also standardized environment provisioning through modular Terraform and Ansible patterns and expanded operational visibility with New Relic and Dynatrace.

Previously, I supported Nokia Digital Automation Cloud through highly available, multi-region Kubernetes environments, Tier-3 reliability engineering, and centralized observability using EFK, OpenSearch, and Grafana Loki.

I bring 12+ years across production infrastructure, telecom platforms, modernization, incident mitigation, and technical leadership. I mentor engineering teams and establish practical standards for autoscaling, capacity planning, SLA/SLO architecture, and platform reliability.
