What I'm looking for

I seek a senior platform/devops role in a collaborative, security-conscious company where I can lead cloud infrastructure, improve CI/CD, mentor teams, and scale resilient systems.

I am a forward-thinking Platform and DevOps engineer with ten years of hands-on experience architecting, provisioning, and automating small to large-scale cloud infrastructures. I have led engineering teams, built CI/CD pipelines, implemented observability and security practices, and delivered near-zero downtime systems across multi-cloud environments.

My work includes designing resilient distributed systems using Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, and container platforms, optimizing costs and performance, and integrating ML/LLM-driven features such as FAISS similarity search and inference endpoints. I partner with leadership to align technical strategy with business goals while mentoring teams and establishing SOPs for reliability, security, and developer productivity.
