What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build secure, cloud-native Kubernetes platforms with GitOps, CI/CD, and automation—delivering auditable releases, strong security controls, and reliable production operations. I value technical leadership, mentorship, and mission-focused work.

I’m a Senior Platform Engineer with 12+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, and Cloud Engineering, focused on secure, cloud-native platform development for mission-critical systems. I specialize in Kubernetes and infrastructure as code, with deep hands-on experience building and maintaining production ATO’d environments in DoD and enterprise settings.

I’ve delivered measurable improvements by designing GitOps workflows with ArgoCD/Flux, integrating security scanning into CI/CD, and reducing vulnerability exposure in container images by 40%. I also build automation (including Go-based Kubernetes operators), strengthen container and cloud security, and lead platform reliability through Prometheus/Grafana monitoring—while mentoring teams and shaping technical roadmaps.
