What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Platform/SRE role where I can drive MTTD/MTTR improvements through observability, harden CI/CD and GitOps, and lead RCA to raise availability while reducing manual ops and cloud waste.

I’m a DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience building, automating, and operating production infrastructure on AWS and GCP. I specialize in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and Ansible, and I apply GitOps practices to keep environments consistent and reliable.

I improve reliability by designing observability dashboards and proactive alerting with Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch—reducing Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) by 35%. When incidents happen, I lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and apply SRE on-call practices across Kubernetes deployments and application logs, cutting repeat incidents by 25%.

I strengthen CI/CD and release engineering with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and ArgoCD, including blue-green/rolling and zero-downtime approaches. I’ve automated operational workflows in Python, Bash, and Go, reducing manual operational effort by 40% and improving release success rates by 30%.

I also focus on cost governance and platform consistency, provisioning and standardizing infrastructure with Terraform, Kubernetes (Amazon EKS), and GitOps, then introducing usage quotas and cost-reporting dashboards on AWS—cutting resource waste by ~20% and increasing platform availability by 30%. I enjoy mentoring engineers through documentation, architecture reviews, and office hours, accelerating adoption of cloud-enabled workflows.
