What I'm looking for

I am seeking a DevOps/Cloud role focused on secure, cloud-native infrastructure, CI/CD automation, and collaborative teams that value documentation, mentorship, and opportunities to apply offensive security skills to improve platform resilience.

I am a DevOps and security-focused engineer with hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native platforms and CI/CD pipelines. I led end-to-end DevOps operations across 15+ enterprise platforms, optimizing Kubernetes scaling and container builds to improve performance and startup times.

I implement observability and security tooling—ELK, Prometheus/Grafana, Snyk, OWASP ZAP, SonarQube—and have engineered automated pipelines and full AWS migrations using Jenkins, Docker, Terraform, and Ansible. I also built a documentation portal and deployed Passbolt to improve onboarding and credential management.

Outside of work I run a homelab, contribute tooling and privacy-respecting frontends, and practice offensive security through CTFs and labs. I hold practical cloud and security certifications and pursue continuous improvement in secure automation and platform reliability.
