What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end delivery and release engineering, strengthen DevOps culture and shift-left quality, and deliver measurable outcomes using Azure/AWS CI/CD, pipeline analytics, and strong risk management.

I’m a technology-driven Delivery Manager with nearly 21 years of experience in Delivery Management, Release Engineering, and New Product Development. I scope and plan complex programs by mapping business requirements into actionable Azure Boards sprint plans and automated release pipelines with environment-based approvals and quality gates.

I lead secure, scalable DevOps workflows by integrating Azure Key Vault, AKS, and Service Bus, and I make data-driven decisions using pipeline analytics and burndown dashboards. Across multi-country programs and platform teams, I’ve driven DevOps culture, shift-left quality practices, and continuous improvement—improving release rate and reducing MTTR while coordinating onsite/offshore delivery and stakeholder communication.
