What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead cloud operations and platform reliability—building secure-by-design CI/CD and infrastructure automation with strong observability and DevEx. I want to improve deployment speed, security, and cost efficiency while partnering cross-functionally.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer and Cloud Infrastructure specialist with 7+ years across DevOps, IT operations, AWS architecture, and Linux-based production support. I focus on deploying, configuring, monitoring, troubleshooting, and securing cloud applications across development, staging, and production.

I’ve led secure-by-design DevOps practices and delivered measurable platform outcomes: improving deployment frequency by 25%, reducing cloud costs by 30%, improving deployment time by 60%, and reducing production security incidents by 40%. In my current role, I lead a team of 5 DevOps engineers covering cloud operations, CI/CD enablement, infrastructure reliability, and secure production delivery across AWS and GCP.

I automate the operational workflows that keep platforms healthy—using Terraform, Ansible, Python, Go, and Bash to provision infrastructure, standardize environment repeatability, and support backup automation. I also manage security controls across IAM, VPC design, subnets, security groups, and CI/CD permissions, while partnering with teams to maintain governance and data protection for sensitive workloads.

My approach blends engineering discipline with observability and compliance: integrating vulnerability scanning and policy-as-code into CI/CD with GitHub Actions and ArgoCD, and using Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch, and Loki to pinpoint risks and coordinate resolution. I enjoy building developer toolchains and internal platforms—so teams ship faster with confidence, clearer incident visibility, and consistent operational standards.
