What I'm looking for

I seek senior/manager roles driving cloud migrations, platform automation, and DevSecOps in compliant, collaborative teams focusing on reliability, scalability, and cost-effective cloud solutions.

I am a seasoned DevOps and Cloud Engineering leader with 12+ years building enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines, secure cloud infrastructures, and scalable containerized workloads.

I specialize in Kubernetes orchestration, SRE practices, observability, and IaC automation using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, and service mesh technologies.

I have led cloud migrations and architecture work across healthcare, finance, and education, enabling zero-downtime deployments, cost optimizations, multi-cloud governance, and regulatory compliance (HIPAA, SOC 2, CIS).

I drive DevSecOps, automation, and reliability: implementing automated remediation, centralized observability, SLA/SLO-driven reliability, and high-availability designs that accelerate engineering velocity and protect mission-critical services.
