United StatesWhat I'm looking for
As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Stripe, I have led the migration of payment processing infrastructure from AWS ECS to Kubernetes (EKS), achieving a 30% reduction in deployment time and significantly enhancing fault tolerance. My expertise in implementing high-performance CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and ArgoCD has streamlined release cycles and improved deployment success rates.
In my previous role at HashiCorp, I developed Terraform modules that became part of the public module registry, enabling thousands of developers to adopt Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices effortlessly. I have a strong background in building observability stacks and automated incident response systems, which have lowered mean time to recovery (MTTR) by 40%. My commitment to enhancing system reliability and performance drives my passion for DevOps.
