What I'm looking for

I’m looking for senior-track remote roles with international engineering teams, where I can build automated, observable, and secure-by-default CI/CD and platform infrastructure for AI/SaaS—driving reliability, DevSecOps, and production readiness through real ownership.

I build infrastructure from scratch and own it end to end. My work spans multi-cloud environments across GCP and Kubernetes at the platform layer — multi-environment overlays, self-hosted installers for bare-metal and air-gapped deployments with GPU auto-detection, Terraform across prod and release environments, and observability stacks with real alerting that actually fires when things break. On AWS I've built ECS services, IAM architectures, VPC networking, and CI/CD pipelines with security scanning baked in at every stage. I close gaps before they become incidents, ship DevSecOps as a default not an afterthought, and use AI tooling daily to move faster without cutting corners. Greenfield is where I do my best work give me a blank slate and I'll give you something production-ready.
