At Rivian, I lead DevOps and platform initiatives across 20+ Kubernetes clusters, improving upgrade rollouts by 80%, reducing EKS deployment time by 50%, and saving more than $250,000 annually through FinOps automation and policy enforcement.
I've led P1/P0 incident response, orchestrated failover for 300+ services during an AWS outage, and built developer-facing platform tooling for secrets management, GitOps visibility, infrastructure drift, and AI-assisted self-service. Previously at NEC Aspire Technology, I automated high-availability Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure deployments, built CI/CD pipelines, and developed Python and Go microservices for telecom workloads.
