What I'm looking for

I’m looking for Tech Lead/Principal/Engineering Lead roles where I can drive scalable platforms, improve reliability through DevOps and CI/CD, and mentor high-performing teams while aligning architecture and delivery with business goals.

I’m a Senior Integration Engineer with extensive experience designing and delivering scalable, secure enterprise platforms in high-availability environments. I specialize in microservices architecture, system integrations, and cloud-native deployments, using Docker and Kubernetes to build resilient, containerized solutions.

I’ve led containerization initiatives and optimized CI/CD pipelines, improving deployment velocity, system reliability, and operational efficiency. My work spans OpenShift and Kubernetes orchestration, observability, and performance tuning for mission-critical services.

Beyond hands-on delivery, I provide architectural leadership, mentor development teams, and promote engineering best practices across the full software lifecycle. I’m now positioning myself for Tech Lead, Principal Engineer, or Engineering Lead roles to combine deep technical expertise with strategic leadership.
