What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps/SRE role where I can write clean IaC, shift security left with automated scanning, and keep production stable—building reliable CI/CD pipelines and scalable platform foundations in a security-minded team.

I’m a DevOps/SRE Engineer with 6+ years in the banking sector. I transitioned from a Java backend role into infrastructure, so I bring both application context and deep ownership of the environments it runs on. I write clean Infrastructure as code (IaC), run containerized services, and build secure CI/CD pipelines with a strong “shift security left” mindset.

On the platform side, I manage on-premise infrastructure (30+ servers), keep production stable, and lead hardening work in collaboration with InfoSec—automating SBOM generation and vulnerability scanning for 3000+ container images. I also built internal AI tools using RAG and MCP to automate sprint reporting and documentation search, saving hours of manual work, and I’ve improved environment setup time by 90% while eliminating configuration drift through Terraform, Ansible, and Packer.
