What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior cloud systems role where I can modernize infrastructure with Linux automation, Ansible, and Terraform across multi-cloud environments—owning reliability, monitoring, and security hardening, while collaborating with teams that value engineering discipline.

I’m a Senior Cloud Systems and Linux Engineer with 10+ years building, automating, and modernizing infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and OCI. I’ve led as the de facto technical lead—then stayed deeply hands-on—building platforms from scratch and delivering measurable uptime and scale.

At 4over, I migrated all infrastructure automation from Chef to Ansible, wrote Terraform from scratch for repeatable AWS environments, and led migrations of 60+ production applications from CentOS to Ubuntu with zero downtime. I also built monitoring and observability platforms end to end, including Nagios XI (custom plugins and SNMP), New Relic APM and Infra with Slack/PagerDuty alerting, and an ELK stack for on-prem log shipping.

At Darling Ingredients, I’m the primary owner of Linux cloud automation and platform modernization across a hybrid multi-cloud environment. I drive CIS Level 1 hardening with pre-baked images, build reliable Ansible Automation Platform workflows (including disaster recovery backups), and create compliance-support automation like an OCI Identity audit workflow—while serving as a Linux engineering escalation resource for production issues.
