What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead Kubernetes/Terraform/GitOps platform work that values reliability, clear communication, and production observability. I want teams that embrace safe CI/CD, incident learning, and AI-assisted workflows without compromising safety or quality.

I’m a senior technical lead focused on Kubernetes, Terraform, and GitOps, delivering scalable, reliable cloud platforms while reducing developer toil. I bring a hands-on background across CI/CD automation, incident response, and production-grade observability using Python and Go.

Most recently at Prospect Medical Holdings, I led platform reliability and delivery for multiple Kubernetes services. I standardized cluster add-ons, built reusable Terraform modules, and implemented Flux-based GitOps to improve rollout stability, auditability, and deployment safety—while cutting environment provisioning time from days to hours.

I also strengthened how teams ship and recover by building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/Jenkins), establishing on-call rotations with runbooks and post-mortems, and reducing P1/P2 recurrence using SLOs and error-budget driven prioritization. Across roles, I’ve used observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana) and, where appropriate, AI-assisted engineering workflows (Copilot/ChatGPT) to accelerate troubleshooting and safer change reviews.
