What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cloud and DevOps transformations, drive automation and CI/CD adoption, mentor teams, and deliver scalable, secure multicloud infrastructure.

I am a technology leader with over 17 years of experience in UNIX/Linux administration, virtualization, cloud computing, and DevOps. I have led cross-functional teams through complex cloud migrations, enterprise-scale deployments, and infrastructure automation across AWS, VMware, and hybrid environments.

I specialize in building scalable, secure cloud-native solutions using Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), and monitoring stacks like Prometheus and Grafana. I have a proven track record in designing CI/CD pipelines, implementing infrastructure-as-code, and establishing security and governance practices.

I am passionate about mentoring teams, fostering Agile cultures, and aligning technology strategy with business goals to accelerate innovation and ensure reliable service delivery.
