What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead SRE/Cloud reliability work—building high-availability AWS infrastructure, improving observability with Datadog, automating workflows with Terraform/Ansible, and driving measurable uptime and cost reductions.

I’m a Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Manager with 12 years in AWS, Linux system administration, networking, and DevOps. I established and lead the SRE function, driving uptime from 97.5% to 99.95%, meeting the organization’s SLA of 99.9%, and maintaining it for the last three years.

I architect Disaster Recovery (DR) and Active-Active (A-A) solutions on AWS, and I strengthen reliability through incident and risk management, automation, and strong observability. I’ve also led centralized logging and integrated Datadog as the primary observability platform, while cutting AWS cloud spend by 20% per month and reducing toil to zero through automation frameworks.
