What I'm looking for

I seek SRE/DevOps roles focused on cloud infrastructure, automation, observability, and collaborative teams that value reliability, mentorship, and measurable operational improvements.

I am a Site Reliability Engineer with 5+ years building resilient cloud infrastructure, automating deployments, and improving observability across AWS and Kubernetes environments. I design Terraform-based infrastructure, develop automation in Python and Shell, and implement CI/CD pipelines to reduce manual effort and operational risk.

I have led cross-functional projects including multi-region disaster recovery, Datadog migrations, and Kubernetes cluster upgrades, delivering measurable improvements in MTTD, cost savings, and reliability. I mentor junior engineers and collaborate with security and application teams to ensure compliance, uptime, and efficient incident response.
