What I'm looking for

I seek SRE/observability roles focused on cloud-native systems, automation, and scalable monitoring with collaborative teams that value reliability, open-source cost savings, and opportunities to lead migrations and performance improvements.

I am a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with over 13 years of experience in observability, cloud, and monitoring solutions.

I have led large migrations and monitoring transformations, including migrating monitoring for 1000 applications and leading a 15-person team. I helped save $1.2 million annually by adopting open-source tools and improved system uptime by 25% while maintaining 99.98% availability for critical applications.

I specialize in automating operations, incident response, and performance benchmarking using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Kubernetes, Terraform, Splunk, and cloud platforms, and I prioritize transparent stakeholder communication to build scalable, reliable systems.
