What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a platform engineering or SRE role in a high-growth B2B SaaS environment. I want to drive automation, security/compliance, and observability to improve availability, reduce lead time, and help developers ship faster.

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 10 years of experience building and scaling cloud-native B2B SaaS platforms. I focus on platform engineering, site reliability, and developer productivity—bringing automation, security, and observability together to improve software delivery.

At LinearB, I architected and operated the cloud platform backbone for 1M+ software engineers, maintaining 99.95% availability. I scaled distributed AWS infrastructure across EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, and event-driven microservices, cutting platform provisioning time by 75% with Terraform automation, and reduced deployment failures by 60% by standardizing Kubernetes and Helm frameworks.

I’ve also modernized high-throughput engineering intelligence at Allstacks, using a Kafka-based ingestion pipeline to reduce data latency from 24 hours to under 1 hour. I improve reliability and efficiency with CI/CD and observability (including Datadog/CloudWatch/Prometheus/Grafana), tighten security and compliance (SAML SSO, SCIM, IAM, KMS, Snyk), and use automation to reduce operational friction—like lowering MTTR by 70% and cloud spend by 30%.
