Senior DevOps and AI infrastructure engineer building reliable Kubernetes and cloud platforms across global teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior DevOps and AI infrastructure engineer with 10+ years building reliable, multi-region Kubernetes platforms.
Most recently, at Matchday, I ran AI infrastructure and model operations: OpenRouter and LiteLLM gateways, Vertex AI, Azure AI Foundry, MCP services, and AI-assisted SRE agents on Kubernetes. I owned production deployments, GitOps, observability, reliability, and cloud costs.
Before that, I led global infrastructure at Spacemesh.io across the US, EU, and APAC, using AWS, GCP, Hetzner, Crossplane, and Argo CD. At Activision Blizzard King, I launched multiplayer backend platforms for Overwatch and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, operated 150+ microservices, achieved 99.99% SLA DNS failover, processed 10M+ daily events, and reduced EKS costs by 35%.
I enjoy platform engineering, AI operations, and making complex systems easier to run.
