What I'm looking for
I am a DevOps leader with more than 10 years in technology, currently serving as a Tech Lead/DevOps Engineer at Kyndryl. I provide technical leadership, mentor teams, and define best practices to improve delivery and operational reliability.
I design, implement, and maintain end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Git, Terraform, and Helm across hybrid and multi-cloud environments including AWS and Azure. I automate deployment and operational workflows with Python, Bash, Ansible, and Terraform to reduce manual effort and accelerate releases.
My background includes sustaining enterprise systems on Linux and AIX, managing Kubernetes clusters, and applying IaC principles to cloud and on-premise infrastructure. I have a track record of troubleshooting distributed systems, performing root-cause analysis, and implementing durable fixes.
I seek to drive reliable, automated delivery platforms and mentor engineering teams to adopt scalable infrastructure and DevOps practices that improve speed, stability, and operational excellence.
