What I'm looking for

I want to build secure, high-availability cloud platforms where I can own CI/CD automation, GitOps with Argo CD, Terraform IaC, and Kubernetes operations—partnering with engineering to improve reliability, speed deployments, and reduce cloud cost.

I’m an AWS Cloud DevOps Engineer with over 11 years in IT environments, focused on automating IT infrastructure and deployments that stay resilient, secure, and scalable. I build reliable systems that consistently target uptime levels typically above 99.5% using high-availability designs and automated recovery.

I’ve led GitOps adoption with Argo CD across 25 Kubernetes clusters, cutting deployment times and reducing rollback incidents by over 50%. I also drive cloud cost optimization by identifying unused and underutilized resources, achieving an estimated 25–30% reduction in monthly cloud spend without performance tradeoffs.

My approach blends Infrastructure as Code and continuous delivery—using Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and quality/security integrations like SAST and SCA to reduce post-deployment vulnerabilities. From EKS/ECS and containerization to monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, I partner with engineering teams to deliver fault-tolerant microservices and operational confidence.
