Senior Site Reliability & Cloud Engineer driving resilient, cost-efficient platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Site Reliability and Cloud Engineer with 13+ years designing and scaling mission-critical platforms across fintech, e-commerce, healthcare, and enterprise sectors. I focus on reliability, automation, cost optimization, and secure architectures.
I've delivered 99.99% uptime, cut MTTR by 60%, and reduced cloud spend by millions through automation, IaC, and resilient design. I led enterprise cloud migrations and implemented zero-downtime deployments, improving scalability by 30%+.
My hands-on expertise includes Kubernetes, Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, GitOps, CI/CD, observability with OpenTelemetry/Prometheus/Grafana, and multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) operations. I champion DevSecOps, chaos engineering, and self-healing infrastructure to strengthen system robustness.
I mentor engineers, drive best practices, and align infrastructure work with business priorities to deliver secure, fault-tolerant, cost-efficient, and future-ready platforms that accelerate product delivery.
