What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps/SRE-style role where I can own production reliability, build internal developer platforms, and use IaC, CI/CD, and observability to improve release velocity, reduce incidents, and scale cloud infrastructure safely.

I’m a Staff / Senior DevOps Engineer with 9+ years supporting large-scale cloud platforms, distributed systems, and enterprise infrastructure across AWS and GCP. I focus on platform stability, deployment efficiency, and infrastructure scalability, helping teams deliver reliable services without operational bottlenecks.

In my most recent role, I supported cloud infrastructure and platform engineering for large-scale healthcare digital platforms running on GCP and Kubernetes. I designed and managed high-availability, cloud-native infrastructure on GCP, administered GKE clusters, and enabled zero-downtime deployments through strong CI/CD automation.

I build and standardize Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and CloudFormation to reduce manual operations, and I develop Python automation for infrastructure management, deployment orchestration, monitoring, and operational tooling. I’ve integrated observability with Datadog for proactive incident detection, dashboards, logging, and alerting across distributed systems.

I also bring DevSecOps and SRE ownership into production: collaborating with engineering, SRE, security, and product teams on secure workflows, secrets management, and incident response. From automation-driven release reliability to root cause analysis and performance tuning, I consistently drive improvements that make mission-critical environments safer and easier to operate.
