DevOps Engineer delivering production AWS/GCP infrastructure with Kubernetes, IaC, and cost optimization.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a DevOps Engineer with 4+ years delivering production AWS/GCP infrastructure for high-growth SaaS and fintech environments. I’ve focused on measurable outcomes like cutting cloud costs by $10K/month, reducing deployment time by 50%, and maintaining 99.99% uptime across 10,000+ containers.
I specialize in Kubernetes (EKS/GKE), Terraform IaC, and GitHub Actions CI/CD, pairing reliable automation with operational visibility. From provisioning multi-cloud environments to configuring Kubernetes deployments (ingress controllers, health probes, and HPA), I’ve enabled zero-downtime deployments and faster release cycles for multiple concurrent client projects.
I also bring strong observability and governance experience—building Datadog monitoring and SLO/SLA/SLI tracking, plus incident alert pipelines that bring P1 awareness to under 2 minutes. I’ve implemented security and compliance practices with HashiCorp Vault, least-privilege IAM automation, and SOC audit-aligned workflows, while standardizing Terraform module libraries to reduce rework and provisioning time to under 2 hours.
