What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and values security in cloud environments.

As a seasoned DevSecOps Consultant and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with over 15 years of experience, I excel in designing secure, scalable solutions and leading technical transformations. My expertise lies in multi-cloud environments, particularly with Amazon Web Services (AWS), alongside significant experience in Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). I am well-versed in compliance frameworks such as CIS and NIST, enabling me to support audits and drive improvements that align with industry standards.

My proactive approach to documentation, reporting, and automation empowers organizations to maintain transparent, efficient, and secure cloud environments. I am passionate about solving complex challenges and mitigating risks, delivering measurable value through innovative solutions and collaborative leadership. Notably, I spearheaded a security transformation project that enhanced my organization’s security posture, achieving compliance with industry standards and reducing risk by 30%.
