What I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with a proven track record of leading complex infrastructure projects and enhancing system reliability. Currently, I operate within the DevOps team at LodgeLink, where I have successfully transitioned a legacy monolithic system into a robust microservices-based architecture on Azure. My contributions have been recognized by leadership, reflecting my commitment to excellence and innovation in cloud solutions.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated end-to-end ownership of infrastructure, CI/CD processes, and security posture. I led the deployment of over 50 backend microservices, achieving zero production downtime while significantly reducing platform downtime through strategic automation and proactive incident response. My efforts have resulted in substantial cost savings and improved user experiences, showcasing my ability to deliver impactful results under tight deadlines.
With a strong focus on DevSecOps practices, I have implemented comprehensive monitoring and alerting systems, ensuring the security and reliability of our deployments. My technical skills extend to scripting automations in PowerShell, Bash, and Python, as well as contributing to backend microservice development in Go. I am passionate about driving efficiency and fostering collaboration across teams to achieve shared goals.
