Senior DevOps engineer delivering secure CI/CD, Kubernetes automation, and measurable reliability improvements for enterprise platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer who modernizes enterprise delivery with Kubernetes automation, Infrastructure as Code, and secure CI/CD. At Whirlpool, I’ve managed Kubernetes (EKS) cluster lifecycle across DEV, SIT, and UAT by provisioning with Terraform and Helm, enforcing RBAC/network policy, and partnering with app teams to ship reliable, repeatable environment rollouts.
I’ve delivered major business impact by automating release toil, improving build and release throughput, and strengthening compliance. I led migration of 2,500+ projects from IBM RTC to GitHub and built end-to-end CI/CD pipelines that reduced build integration effort by 60% and cut code review cycle time by 40% through integrated static analysis, unit tests, and quality gates.
My focus is “secure-by-design” operations: I implement pre-merge compliance gates (SAST/SCA), secrets and IAM least-privilege, and infrastructure controls aligned with audit requirements. I also drive observability and reliability with Prometheus/Grafana and data pipelines that reduced MTTR and accelerated anomaly identification, backed by my Six Sigma Green Belt Operational Excellence mindset.
