What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead DevOps delivery for regulated platforms—owning CI/CD and GitOps on Kubernetes, strengthening security/quality gates, and improving observability and incident response.

I’m a DevOps and Cloud Engineer with 4+ years delivering CI/CD, build/release automation, Kubernetes operations, and cloud/on-prem infrastructure in regulated, enterprise environments. I build end-to-end pipelines with quality and security gates baked into delivery, so teams can ship confidently across multiple environments.

Most recently, I’ve been leading a DevOps team operating a regulated platform of 2,200+ microservices. I run Kubernetes and container operations (including upgrades, patching, and scaling), maintain Jenkins and GitLab-triggered delivery to build Maven/Gradle/NPM artifacts, and automate source control workflows and access management. I’ve also integrated SonarQube with SAST/DAST gates, enforced RBAC, and strengthened secrets handling and PKI/TLS controls.

I bring strong SRE-minded observability and reliability practices—Prometheus/Grafana dashboards, alerting, and incident response with root-cause analysis. I also design infrastructure with Terraform/CloudFormation/Ansible and use GitOps (including Argo CD) for automated deployment, drift detection, and safe rollbacks, while continuously optimizing builds and reducing operational friction with scripting.
