What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build self-service internal platforms, automate infrastructure with IaC, improve reliability and observability, and apply AI/ML services to production systems while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

I am a Senior Platform Engineer with 5.5+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating serverless and container platforms, driving infrastructure automation with Terraform and AWS CDK, and integrating AI services for production use.

I have delivered measurable outcomes such as 93% faster provisioning, $120K in cost savings, and 99%+ system reliability by building internal developer platforms, CDK constructs, multi-tenant Kubernetes migrations, and self-service capabilities for 100+ teams.

My engineering approach emphasizes automation, observability, and security—leveraging Bedrock, SageMaker, Amazon Q, GitOps, Prometheus/Grafana, and robust CI/CD to reduce incident detection and resolution times while improving deployment success and operational efficiency.
