What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a results-driven DevOps Engineer with over a decade of experience in designing and scaling cloud-native infrastructure for high-growth fintech and software platforms. My expertise lies in building CI/CD pipelines, automating cloud deployments, and implementing observability and security frameworks across AWS and Azure ecosystems. I have successfully led DevOps strategies for mission-critical products at companies like Intuit, Stripe, and Betterment, supporting millions of users with high availability and compliance-focused environments.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to drive performance, security, and operational excellence at scale. I have architected and scaled AWS cloud infrastructure, directed the containerization of backend services, and developed advanced monitoring systems that significantly enhance platform reliability. My commitment to innovation is reflected in my implementation of robust DevSecOps practices and automation strategies that have consistently improved deployment efficacy and reduced security vulnerabilities.
