What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and automate reliable cloud, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and MLOps platforms where infrastructure security, observability, self-service, and production reliability directly improve engineering velocity.

At DISH Networks, I architect AWS landing zones and multi-region EKS platforms for 170+ 5G microservices, using Terraform, AWS CDK, Karpenter, Argo CD, Helm, Fleet, and Rancher. I also built CI/CD workflows that cut build times by 50% and deployment automation supporting 300+ zero-downtime production updates.

Previously at Gilead Sciences, I supported GxP-compliant clinical-data and MLOps infrastructure, including production EKS clusters, hardened Packer AMIs, Apache Airflow workflows, and FSx for Lustre storage for petabyte-scale ML training data.

My work combines cloud automation, GitOps, observability, and security to reduce drift, improve reliability, and make self-service infrastructure practical for engineering teams.
