I'm a DevOps and SRE leader driving multi-cloud automation, observability, and resilient infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I'm a DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with 11+ years designing and operating secure, scalable infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I specialize in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible), CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, ArgoCD), and Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE).
I built and scaled observability and incident-response pipelines using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry, and PagerDuty, embedded SLIs/SLOs into release workflows, and automated compliance with HashiCorp Vault, OPA, Checkov, and Trivy to reduce manual interventions and improve reliability.
I champion GitOps and multi-cloud architectures, lead chaos engineering and automation initiatives, and mentor engineers to deliver measurable improvements in uptime, security, and delivery speed—seeking to bring automation-first reliability practices to a collaborative, growth-oriented team.
