What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on cloud-native infrastructure, automation, and observability at a collaborative company that values standardisation, reliability, and continuous improvement.

I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with 3+ years building and operating cloud-native infrastructures, automation pipelines, and observability platforms. I design repeatable, standardised infrastructure and drive global refactoring efforts to improve scalability and performance across AWS and Kubernetes environments.

I have delivered CI/CD, IaC, and monitoring solutions using Terraform/Terragrunt, CDK, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD/Flux and Prometheus/Grafana, and implemented data streaming and centralized logging solutions integrating Kafka, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse and VictoriaMetrics.

I prioritize collaboration, knowledge sharing, and automation to reduce manual work and incident resolution time, and I have led teams and workshops to introduce infrastructure engineering practices that improve reliability and developer productivity.
