What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead Azure DevOps and cloud modernization—driving IaC automation, DevSecOps across the SDLC, and highly reliable CI/CD—while mentoring teams to improve scalability, security, availability, and cost efficiency.

I’m a DevOps and cloud infrastructure leader with 16+ years of total IT infrastructure experience, including 7 years in DevOps and 10 years in team management. I’ve led Azure cloud infrastructure and application support across environments, modernized legacy workflows with cloud-native architectures, and driven DevOps practices focused on scalability, automation, and operational excellence.

I architect and operate automated CI/CD pipelines, embed DevSecOps across the SDLC by partnering with Development, QA, and Security teams, and ensure governance through initiatives like SOC2 compliance. I rely on Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, manage Kubernetes and Docker-based deployments, and continuously improve reliability by monitoring performance, troubleshooting production issues, and documenting systems for long-term maintainability.
