What I'm looking for

I seek senior cloud/SRE roles where I can lead multi‑cloud architecture, drive FinOps and DevSecOps, mentor teams, and deliver secure, cost‑efficient, highly available systems.

I am a highly accomplished Cloud Engineering and SRE consultant with over 16 years of hands‑on experience designing and optimizing multi‑cloud environments (AWS, GCP). I specialize in CloudOps, DevSecOps, FinOps and AIOps, delivering secure, highly available and cost‑effective infrastructure for global clients.

I've led cross‑functional and remote teams to implement observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog), CI/CD pipelines, IaC (Terraform, Ansible), Kubernetes (EKS, GKE) and security/compliance programs including ISO27001 and CSPM. I have driven large platform modernizations, data center migrations and enterprise FinOps initiatives that reduced cost and improved operational resilience.

I combine technical leadership with stakeholder alignment and consulting experience to deliver project‑based results, POCs in generative AI and AIOps, and robust 24/7 cloud operations frameworks that improve MTTD/MTTR and enable reliable, scalable services.
