I am a Senior DevOps engineer who treats reliability as a product feature, turning outages, audits, and migrations into boring non-events. I design cloud platforms with Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD to help teams ship faster and safer.

At Adobe I architected multi-cloud deployments and productized MLOps, reducing region spin-up from two weeks to under one day and halving model lead time. I also improved pipeline visibility with OpenTelemetry and SLO alerting, cutting MTTR about 45% across 200+ services.

Previously, I led DevOps at Social Solutions where I consolidated CI/CD, introduced SLO-driven operations, and containerized critical subsystems to boost throughput and release cadence. I implemented least-privilege access and packaged compliance evidence to accelerate procurement and audit readiness.

I bring practical experience in multi-region DR, zero-downtime secrets rotation, policy-as-code, and scalable observability. I speak infrastructure, security, and product, and I focus on delivering measurable reliability and velocity improvements.
