What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead reliable, cost-efficient cloud infrastructure, strengthen security and compliance, and help teams scale through thoughtful automation, FinOps, and operational excellence.

At Goldcast, acquired by Cvent, I grew from a founding engineer to Associate Manager of Site Reliability Engineering, leading a four-person SRE team across roadmap planning, hiring, on-call health, and SLO delivery. I led SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and external pentest audits, while standardizing CI/CD, adopting Terraform, and aligning Goldcast infrastructure with Cvent tooling and security standards.

I've reduced per-attendee cost by roughly 50% through 2.5x platform growth, delivered about $58K per month in combined AWS savings, and completed zero-downtime MediaStore-to-S3 and Python runtime migrations. Earlier, I built Goldcast's foundational virtual-event engagement features and replaced AWS video services with an in-house FFmpeg and Express.js pipeline that cut streaming costs by about 70%.
