What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead cloud infrastructure modernization, drive IaC and CI/CD automation, enhance resiliency and security, and collaborate cross-functionally in a growth-focused, DevOps-first organization.

I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with over 10 years modernizing, securing, and scaling AWS cloud infrastructure for high-traffic SaaS and digital media platforms.

I specialize in designing fault-tolerant VPC networking and cloud architectures using services such as ALB, ECS, EKS, S3, CloudFront, SNS, SQS, IAM, and CodePipeline to meet strict uptime and security goals.

My background emphasizes Infrastructure as Code with advanced Terraform usage, containerization with Docker/ECR and Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation via Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and CodePipeline—helping reduce provisioning time and improve deployment velocity.

I bring an SRE mindset with strong Linux administration, Bash and Python scripting, observability (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana), disaster recovery planning, and cross-functional collaboration to champion DevOps culture and operational excellence.
