I’m a Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer with 7+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, migrating, and operating large-scale, secure cloud platforms in fintech and other regulated environments. I specialize in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Kubernetes (GKE), Terraform, CI/CD platform engineering, API gateways, edge security, and PCI DSS compliance.

Currently, I’m the sole DevOps / Platform engineer, owning infrastructure end-to-end—from architecture and automation to security, observability, on-call operations, and platform reliability. I translate complex requirements into practical, production-ready systems that keep large engineering teams productive at scale.

In my recent role, I designed and operated GKE platforms hosting ~200 microservices across Development, Stage, Sandbox/UAT, and Production. I also operated Cloud Run at scale (200+ services) with standardized CI/CD, networking, and security controls, enabling 50–100+ developers and QA engineers through reliable self-service deployment pipelines.

I’ve driven major migrations and hardened secure networking by moving from a legacy Apache-based reverse proxy to a cloud-native setup using GKE Ingress, Global Cloud Load Balancers, and Managed SSL certificates. I build repeatable infrastructure with Terraform, automate pipelines with Bitbucket Cloud, Ansible, and Liquibase, and strengthen edge and API security using Apigee X, Kong, Cloudflare (DNS/WAF/Zero Trust/Tunnels), and ongoing PCI DSS audit cycles.
