Senior Site Reliability Engineer focused on secure automation, reliability, and AI-driven operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Site Reliability Engineer who builds reliable, secure operating systems for production. My work centers on automation that reduces toil, improves operational control, and accelerates incident recovery.
At Sysdig, I implemented secure service-to-service communication across AWS GovCloud environments, strengthening security posture while improving reliability and operational controls in production. I also designed automation workflows in Python, Bash, and GitHub Actions to validate and export runbook documentation end-to-end.
To scale operations, I built an agentic AI-driven reporting system that automated approximately 90% of weekly alert analysis and operational reporting. I further automated engineer on-call handoff processes with Python, cutting the time needed to collect operational, deployment, and environment data by approximately 90%, and I served as Incident Commander during production-critical incidents to coordinate cross-functional response and drive post-incident improvements.
Previously, as a Senior Engineer at WindRiver, I developed customer-facing cloud applications using TypeScript, Angular, Node.js, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, Redis, and microservices architectures. I led Kubernetes platform improvements across AWS EKS environments (HPA, Helm, Terraform-based standards across 50+ workloads), built self-service storage provisioning to eliminate manual tasks, and reduced manual deployment effort by approximately 99% through automation of build, validation, deployment, and environment management workflows.
