Senior DevOps and Cloud Architect focused on scalable, cost-efficient cloud automation.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps and Cloud Architect with deep expertise across AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, and GitOps, focused on building scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud systems. I specialize in automation, observability, cost optimization, and migrating large-scale services across cloud providers, having delivered multi-region ingestion platforms and significant cost savings at enterprise scale.
I have driven infrastructure-as-code, GitOps pipelines, and monitoring migrations that saved organizations tens of thousands monthly, mentored engineers, and reduced deployment and onboarding times dramatically. I thrive on simplifying developer workflows, improving reliability, and integrating technologies to enable teams to operate efficiently and sleep peacefully at night.
