What I'm looking for

I seek a technically challenging cloud/platform role where I can automate infrastructure, optimize cost and reliability, and collaborate with cross-functional teams for measurable impact.

I am a results-driven platform engineer with over 8 years of hands-on experience designing and operating cloud platforms and DevOps practices. I have led mission-critical migrations and infrastructure projects—most notably migrating the RTDP application to Azure to enable data-center decommissioning—and delivered measurable cost and reliability improvements such as a 40% reduction in monitoring storage costs using Thanos.

I excel at automating CI/CD and infrastructure (Terraform, CloudFormation), optimizing Kubernetes and EKS deployments, and embedding observability and security best practices (Prometheus, Grafana, PCI-DSS, GDPR). I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and clients to drive continuous improvement, reduce deployment time, and increase operational resilience.
