What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on cloud infrastructure, automation, and reliability where I can improve deployment efficiency, observability, and system uptime while collaborating with development teams and growing in cloud-native practices.

I am a DevOps Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer with 5+ years of experience managing cloud infrastructure, automation, and system reliability across AWS and GCP. I specialize in building CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code with Terraform and Chef, containerization with Docker and Kubernetes, and observability using ELK, Grafana, and Dynatrace.

At the University of Toronto I improved deployment efficiency and reliability by automating ingestion and CI/CD workflows, saving ~100+ hours/year and reducing batch turnaround by 1–2 days. I have authored 100+ SOPs, managed databases and datacenter infrastructure, and hold multiple cloud and IT process certifications.
