Senior DevOps engineer building reliable cloud infrastructure and scalable AI-driven platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps engineer with 8+ years designing and operating cloud-native, full-stack, and AI-powered systems using Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and multi-cloud platforms. I focus on automation, observability, and developer experience, having built CI/CD pipelines, IaC workflows, and platform services that support dozens of microservices and maintain 99.9%+ uptime.
I have led infrastructure projects across AWS, GCP, and Azure, implemented monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana/Datadog, and created data and model pipelines integrating PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, and serverless components. I enjoy mentoring engineers, driving DevOps best practices, and delivering reliable, secure, scalable platforms that accelerate product teams and AI workloads.
