What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead multi-cloud platform onboarding and migration, building Terraform/Kubernetes automation, self-service CI/CD, and secure, high-availability operations—partnering across teams to deliver repeatable production environments with measurable improvements.

I’m a senior system, network, cloud, and platform engineering professional with 15+ years of experience delivering scalable infrastructure in enterprise and product-led organizations. I focus on cloud migration, platform onboarding, and high-availability environments, with proven expertise across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

I’ve led end-to-end onboarding of enterprise customers onto the Duplo Cloud platform by modernizing legacy deployments and migrating workloads into production-ready, containerized environments. I deliver repeatable infrastructure through Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code and help teams transition to standardized, platform-based operating models.

I’m hands-on in Kubernetes/EKS, CI/CD enablement, and cloud security hardening, including CIS-aligned initiatives. Across my roles, I’ve built self-service pipelines, automated monitoring/backup and deployment modernization workflows, and improved cost and operational efficiency through strong technical leadership and cross-functional partnership.
