What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead AWS DevOps/Kubernetes work—GitOps, Terraform, cost and deployment performance—while pushing into AI/agentic automation like self-healing clusters and intelligent alarm response.

I’m a dual-certified DevOps Lead with 5+ years in IT, focused on production-grade Kubernetes on AWS EKS. I’ve delivered measurable impact—slashing infrastructure costs by 30–40%, accelerating deployments by 40%, and cutting build times by 40–60%.

My work blends platform reliability and automation: I’ve automated 200+ CloudWatch alarms, reduced database migration time from 6+ hours to under 3 hours, and implemented end-to-end GitOps with ArgoCD, CI/CD pipelines, and strong security guardrails. I’ve built EKS provisioning with Karpenter, enforced policies with Kyverno, and shipped robust observability using Prometheus/Grafana and CloudWatch (plus DR with Velero).

I’ve also extended into AI/ML & Agentic DevOps by building KubeHealer, a production-ready AI-powered Kubernetes self-healing platform using Temporal durable workflows, MCP tools, and pluggable LLM providers. I’m energized by roles where I can combine IaC, Kubernetes operations, and agentic intelligence to make systems faster, cheaper, and more resilient.
