What I'm looking for

I want to own infrastructure and CI/CD end-to-end—delivering zero-downtime releases, strong cloud security (WAF, identity, secret management), and measurable uptime/cost improvements. I’m excited to build reliable platforms with Kubernetes and GCP.

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 3+ years of experience owning live infrastructure for fintech payments and consumer travel products, handling 15,000+ daily transactions. I focus on high availability and fault tolerance, delivering GKE and Cloud Run workloads with zero-downtime releases at 99.9% uptime.

I modernize CI/CD and infrastructure using health-checked rolling updates, auto-revert, and blue-green deployments—cutting downtime by 84% and release cycles from hours to minutes. On the security side, I eliminate static credentials via Workload Identity Federation, enforce vulnerability gates with Trivy, and protect public endpoints with Cloud Armor WAF and SSL/TLS.

I architect GCP networking for private data paths (VPCs, Cloud DNS/NAT, Load Balancers, NEGs) and tune Kubernetes with Helm and right-sized resources using Prometheus metrics, reducing instability like OOMKilled crash loops. I’ve also built end-to-end delivery automation across CI/CD tools, monitoring (Prometheus/Grafana, Papertrail), and load testing (k6/JMeter), and I began my career transitioning from AI/ML research into DevOps automation.
