What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth in cloud technologies.

I’m a Senior Cloud Architect and DevOps Leader with over a decade of experience designing hybrid and multicloud platforms across AWS, Oracle Cloud, Azure, and GCP. I specialize in building scalable, secure, and cost-optimized infrastructure, implementing automation through Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible), and leading Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) initiatives focused on performance, observability, and resiliency.

Throughout my career, I’ve led global teams through complex cloud transformations, built reusable CI/CD pipelines, implemented disaster recovery strategies with sub-30 minute RPOs, and acted as Incident Commander during critical outages. My achievements include reducing cloud spend by 25%, improving deployment velocity by 40%, and mentoring engineers across high-growth organizations.

I'm passionate about building platform capabilities that empower internal teams, promoting a culture of continuous improvement, and contributing thought leadership through technical workshops and blog content. I’m currently seeking impactful roles where I can drive innovation at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and SRE.
