Senior DevOps/Platform Engineer delivering Kubernetes GitOps automation across multi-cloud.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer with 10+ years of hands-on experience in Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native infrastructure, and infrastructure-as-code. I build and operate reliable platform workflows that improve deployment reliability and delivery velocity.
At Sysdig, I architected enterprise CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Groovy, Helm, and GitOps (ArgoCD), then automated multi-cloud Kubernetes deployments across EKS, GKE, OpenShift, and KOPS. I led monthly production release cycles for Sysdig On-Prem and delivered zero-downtime deployments while coordinating cross-functional stakeholders.
I also drove meaningful migrations—recovering a full SaaS region by moving from Harness and imperative kubectl/Helm workflows to a fully GitOps-driven architecture (Argo CD, GitHub, Helm registries). I bring automation-focused engineering (Go, Python, YAML/Kubernetes-native patterns) and partner closely with SRE and platform teams to troubleshoot complex production issues and continuously improve reliability.
