What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead cloud reliability initiatives, mentor engineers, automate infrastructure, and drive high-availability, cost-efficient systems in a collaborative, growth-focused company.

I am a Senior Site Reliability and Cloud Platform Engineer with over five years designing, automating, and maintaining scalable cloud-native systems across hybrid and GCP environments. I specialize in Kubernetes cluster management, infrastructure automation with Terraform and Ansible, observability and self-healing infrastructure, and have a proven record optimizing infrastructure to reduce costs and deployment risk in fintech and SaaS settings.

I drive technical mentorship and cross-functional collaboration to raise team productivity and operational excellence, and I have led migrations, created reusable Terraform modules, implemented CI/CD pipelines, and improved observability to reduce MTTD and MTTR while increasing resource utilization and cost efficiency.
