What I'm looking for

I seek roles emphasizing automation, cloud-native infrastructure, and reliability engineering in collaborative teams that value operational excellence and continuous improvement.

I am an Infrastructure and DevOps specialist with 8+ years of experience focused on Unix, middleware, and cloud administration. I design and implement scalable infrastructure solutions that align IT operations with business objectives.

I automate compute provisioning and configuration using Shell scripting, Ansible, and Kubernetes to reduce manual intervention and accelerate deployments. I standardize OS and application configurations with Puppet and GitLab CI/CD to ensure consistency and faster releases.

My middleware and platform management experience includes WebLogic, Tomcat, IBM MQ, and Kafka, where I improved performance and reduced downtime. I integrate monitoring and incident workflows—Dynatrace with DevOps pipelines and ServiceNow automation—to enable proactive detection and faster resolution.

I lead patching, security hardening, disaster recovery planning, and administration of DevOps toolchains (GitLab, Jenkins, Artifactory, Ansible, Kubernetes). I have been recognized with multiple awards for automation and execution excellence.
