What I'm looking for

I seek a hands‑on Cloud Architect / DevOps/SRE role to lead multi‑cloud architecture, automation, observability and CI/CD, drive reliability and cost optimization, mentor teams, and deliver measurable business outcomes.

I am a certified Cloud Architect and Lead DevOps Engineer with 15 years of experience designing and operating multi‑cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure and GCP. I combine hands‑on platform engineering with solution design to improve resiliency, performance and cost efficiency.

I have built and managed large Kubernetes clusters (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift), implemented CI/CD pipelines, and automated deployments and configuration with Terraform, Ansible, Puppet and CloudFormation. I also have deep experience in observability and SRE practices, including SLO/SLI definition, monitoring, tracing and incident management.

My work has delivered measurable outcomes: implemented analytics and reporting that saved ~90 hours monthly and generated $250K in incremental annual revenue, ran experiments that improved conversion and reduced churn, and reduced downtime through architecture and automation. I have driven cloud migrations, landing zone design, and security‑first cloud operations.

I bring a pragmatic, metrics‑driven approach to platform reliability and automation, mentor teams, and contribute to R&D to create reusable tooling. I seek to lead cloud, DevOps or SRE initiatives that scale services, increase developer velocity, and deliver clear business impact.
