What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a cloud-native team where performance and observability are first-class—automating load testing in CI/CD, improving SLOs/MTTR with strong telemetry, and mentoring engineers while scaling reliable systems.

I’m a results-driven Senior Performance Engineer and SRE with 18+ years of experience designing, executing, and optimizing performance strategies for enterprise-scale systems. I embed performance as a first-class engineering discipline—from architecture through production—and I’m known for consistent, measurable outcomes.

My work centers on cloud-native observability, APM, capacity planning, and CI/CD-integrated performance validation across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I’ve built and enhanced performance test suites using JMeter, LoadRunner, Silk scripts, and related tooling, while driving automated performance quality controls and SLO/KPI gates in release pipelines.

I lead cross-functional engineering teams across onshore/offshore delivery models, translating performance requirements into actionable frameworks and scalable infrastructure. From Grafana/InfluxDB/Dynatrace-style observability stacks to Kubernetes-based distributed testing and automated provisioning with Ansible and Jenkins, I help teams improve reliability, root-cause faster, and right-size resources with confidence.
