Senior DevOps Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure, automation, and DevSecOps.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with over 10 years of experience designing, automating, and managing cloud-native infrastructures across AWS, Kubernetes, and hybrid environments.
I have built scalable, secure systems using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS Python CDK) and modernized CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions and AWS-native tooling, achieving faster deployments and measurable cost savings.
My work includes implementing Zero Trust architecture, service mesh security in EKS with Istio, and automated cost-optimization that reduced AWS spend by 25% while maintaining high availability.
I contribute to open-source Terraform and Helm modules, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate closely with SRE, product, and engineering teams to deliver resilient, compliant platforms.
