What I'm looking for

I seek SRE/DevOps roles where I can ensure high availability, automate operations, improve observability, mentor teams, and work within compliant healthcare or enterprise environments.

I am a results-driven Site Reliability Engineer with deep experience maintaining 24/7 clinical systems, cloud infrastructure, and monitoring solutions for healthcare platforms. I focus on uptime, compliance, security, and seamless patient care while collaborating closely with cross-functional and clinical teams.

I have implemented observability stacks (Splunk, Dynatrace, Grafana, Honeycomb), deployed applications on Kubernetes with Docker and Helm, and automated operational workflows using Azure Functions, PowerShell, and Ansible. I have led on-call rotations, conducted root cause analysis during critical outages, and overseen clinical system upgrades ensuring regulatory and business continuity.

I continuously improve reliability through CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, cost optimization in AWS/Azure, and runbook/process documentation to reduce incident resolution time and upskill teams.
