What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead DevOps/SRE and Kubernetes platform modernization—building automated CI/CD, progressive delivery, and strong observability—while applying DevSecOps and FinOps to improve reliability and reduce cloud spend.

I’m a Senior DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 11+ years of experience designing automated cloud platforms, CI/CD systems, and scalable Kubernetes infrastructure for enterprise and SaaS environments. I focus on scalability, automation, and operational resilience.

In my recent role as a Senior DevOps Engineer, I lead cloud infrastructure and SRE initiatives across multi-region AWS environments for distributed microservices. I architected scalable Kubernetes on EKS, implemented progressive delivery with Argo Rollouts, and modernized infrastructure by migrating manual provisioning into Terraform-managed workflows.

I also build centralized observability and reliability systems by integrating Datadog and PagerDuty with cloud-native monitoring, and I strengthen governance through DevSecOps and cloud compliance practices. I’ve led infrastructure-as-code transformations, improved deployment automation with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and ArgoCD, and delivered secrets management solutions using Vault.
