What I'm looking for

I’m looking to help teams ship faster and safer by owning DevSecOps, CI/CD, and cloud cost optimization—building secure self-service platforms, improving reliability, and partnering closely with product and engineering stakeholders.

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer and Cloud Architect with 7+ years across multi-cloud platforms—AWS, GCP, and Azure. I focus on optimizing CI/CD pipelines, improving developer experience, and building secure, scalable solutions that teams can self-serve.

At Schibsted, I lead a team of 5 DevOps engineers and drive a DevEx roadmap aligned with quarterly OKRs, delivering a 25% improvement in deployment frequency and a 30% reduction in infrastructure costs through FinOps. I present DevEx metrics and platform initiatives to engineering leadership to influence budget and staffing decisions.

I also own internal security and compliance audits across AWS and GCP, aligning CI/CD pipelines and IAM policies with GDPR, ISO 27001, NIST, and SOC 2 requirements. Using DevSecOps and secure-by-design practices (policy-as-code, automated compliance checks, and vulnerability scanning integrated into GitHub Actions and ArgoCD), I cut production security incidents by 40%.

Previously at Striim, I defined and delivered scalable internal platforms that abstracted cloud complexity and enabled self-service—improving deployment time by over 60%. Earlier, I implemented Kubernetes-based microservices and automated provisioning with Terraform and Ansible, and at Google I built CI/CD improvements that reduced build times by 30% while optimizing GCP networking and IAM for least-privilege access.
