What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior SRE/platform roles where I can scale Kubernetes-native infrastructure, drive GitOps automation, strengthen runtime security, and improve observability in a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a Site Reliability Engineer with 5+ years of experience scaling cloud infrastructure, automating Kubernetes-native systems, and improving platform reliability through CI/CD, observability, and security tooling.

I have built custom Kubernetes operators, managed production-grade GCP environments, and implemented runtime security using Falco and Sysdig; I led migrations (Looker Classic to Looker Core), integrated Sysdig image scanning into GitHub Actions, and deployed 10+ ClickHouse clusters with GCP Private Connect and autoscaling strategies.

I pair pragmatic automation with observability and security—designing GitOps deployments (ArgoCD, Helm, Kustomize), configuring Grafana alerts routed to Opsgenie, and delivering projects like an IoT traffic-control system and ExcelSheetMapper that reduced manual errors by 93%.
