At UPS, I own infrastructure automation across AWS and GCP and maintain production EKS and GKE platforms. I built self-service Jenkins and Terraform workflows that reduced average infrastructure provisioning effort by approximately 30% compared with manual processes.

At Northwell Health, I supported the migration of healthcare application workloads to AWS and GCP, and at Cigna I shifted application delivery toward GitOps with ArgoCD and Helm. Earlier, I worked in Linux administration at T-Mobile, PNC Bank, and CVS Health, including automating server configuration and supporting production environments.
