What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead DevOps/SRE modernization—building secure, observable cloud-native platforms with Kubernetes, automation, and strong CI/CD. I want a team that values ownership, reliability, and measurable improvements in incidents and cloud cost efficiency.

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 8 years of experience building, automating, securing, and supporting cloud-native platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I’m known for strong ownership, clean automation, production support, and mentoring teams on modern DevOps and reliability practices.

I’ve led infrastructure modernization and multi-cloud Kubernetes migrations, including moving 40+ enterprise applications to Azure Kubernetes Service and Amazon EKS using Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and GitOps workflows. I focus on improving deployment reliability, reducing incident recovery time, and delivering stable systems that increase release speed and operational confidence.

I also bring deep SRE and DevSecOps strengths—using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, and PagerDuty to enhance observability and SLIs/SLOs practices. On the security and governance side, I’ve implemented Vault/Secrets management, IAM/RBAC, and security scanning, while applying FinOps to optimize costs through rightsizing, tagging, and workload scheduling.
