What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps/SRE role where I can own cloud automation, Kubernetes-based platforms, and end-to-end monitoring—improving deployment speed, reliability, and cost while building smart tools for migration and troubleshooting.

I’m a DevOps Engineer who turns infrastructure into measurable outcomes. At Xerox-Lexmark, I cut QA deployment time from 75 minutes to 35 minutes by optimizing pipelines, and I migrated enterprise applications from .NET 6 to .NET 10 across multi-environment Azure infrastructure.

I build scalable systems with a strong SRE mindset. I implemented a Kubernetes-based real-time data streaming and processing architecture for multi-team workloads, and I’m developing an autonomous AI cloud agent to support infrastructure automation, deployment orchestration, tenant transfer, monitoring, troubleshooting, and cloud cost optimization.

My background spans logging and platform automation, cloud architecture, and applied research. As a Net-DevOps Engineer, I automated syslogs collection for 350+ sites and built Python Kafka automation that improved efficiency by 27%; earlier, as a Cloud Architect Intern, I used Terraform to deliver highly available AWS/Azure infrastructure with 99.99% uptime and reduced manual provisioning by 40%.
