What I'm looking for

I'm seeking leadership roles (Principal/DevSecOps/Cloud Architect) to drive cloud transformation, CI/CD automation, and security-focused DevOps in global, cross-functional teams; open to US, Europe, or remote opportunities.

I am a results-driven Principal Engineer and DevSecOps leader with 17+ years in automotive IT and cloud transformation, including 4+ years at Harman International.

I directed DevOps transformation for large-scale automotive projects, reducing software release cycles by 40%, migrating on-prem DevOps to cloud and cutting downtime by 50%, and improving software quality by 30% through CodeSonar and SonarQube integration.

I lead global cross-functional teams, mentor engineers in cloud automation, IaC, and containerization, and seek roles where I can drive secure, scalable CI/CD and compliance-aligned software delivery.
