What I'm looking for

I'm interested in building MCP servers and exploring LLMs and AI while continuing to automate reliable, scalable cloud platforms.

I'm building cloud automation and management tools at Cisco, supporting infrastructure across multiple data centers and cloud platforms.

I work hands-on with Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, AWS EC2, Python boto3, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, Elasticache, RDS, RabbitMQ, and SQS. I also lead support for Kafka, MirrorMaker, and Elasticache platforms, including on-call response through PagerDuty.

I automate cloud scaling, high availability, and multi-site replication; manage Grafana capacity dashboards; and partner with application engineering teams on platform needs. I'm currently building MCP servers and developing a strong interest in LLMs and AI.
