What I'm looking for

I seek remote-friendly roles where I can lead cloud infrastructure, automation, and security improvements, collaborate with engineering teams, and drive cost-efficient, reliable CI/CD and platform operations.

I am a Senior DevSecOps engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience building, operating, and optimizing cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and developer tooling across AWS and Azure. I focus on improving deployment security, reliability, cost efficiency, and developer experience through automation, observability, and strong collaboration with application teams.

I have led zero-downtime AWS migrations, implemented Terraform and Kubernetes-based infrastructures, and reduced cloud spend and deployment times through automation. I bring proven results in incident response, on-call operations, and promoting operational excellence within remote, asynchronous teams.
