What I'm looking for

I seek a Senior DevOps/SRE role to build secure, cloud-native infrastructure, automate CI/CD, improve observability, and advance DevSecOps within collaborative, compliance-focused teams.

I am a Senior DevOps Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer with over 7 years of experience building and managing scalable, cloud-native infrastructure on AWS and Azure. I specialize in Infrastructure as Code, container orchestration with Kubernetes and Docker, and automating reliable CI/CD pipelines while driving DevSecOps and compliance.

At Azumo and Mindtree I led Terraform and Ansible IaC efforts that reduced cloud resource provisioning time by 60% and accelerated environment provisioning by 50%, built self-healing Kubernetes clusters, implemented security scanning that reduced vulnerabilities by 45%, and unified observability to reduce MTTR by 40%.
