What I'm looking for

I seek a senior DevOps/Cloud role where I can lead platform modernization, automate CI/CD and incident workflows, and apply GenAI to improve operational reliability.

I am a results-driven DevOps Architect and AI Engineer with 13+ years designing and operating high-availability cloud platforms across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. I specialize in CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, and automation using Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, Python, Bash, and PowerShell, and have a strong record of improving deployment reliability and operational efficiency.

I have built GenAI-powered operational assistants using LangChain for incident triage and runbook automation, led migrations (SVN to Bitbucket, EKS), implemented GitOps with ArgoCD, and administered core platform services like Kafka, Vault, and HiveMQ. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver cloud-native modernization, measurable business outcomes, and continuous improvement.
