I’m a DevOps Engineer with 9+ years of infrastructure experience, including 8 years dedicated to DevOps/Cloud Engineering across AWS and Azure, built on a foundation in Oracle database administration. I specialize in designing multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms and delivering reliable, repeatable infrastructure through automation.

I architected and deployed multi-tenant platforms on AWS EKS, splitting frontend and backend into independently scalable services and enforcing tenant isolation via Kubernetes RBAC, network policies, and dedicated config maps/secrets. I designed EKS VPC networking (public/private subnets across AZs, route tables, and NAT gateways), provisioned worker/bastion hosts, and implemented least-privilege access with security groups and IAM instance roles.

On the automation side, I author reusable Terraform modules for EKS, ECR, VPC stacks, and load balancers, and I use S3 with Terraform remote state (with locking) to keep infrastructure state durable and versioned. I also set up AWS Organizations under a Control Tower landing zone with preventive and detective guardrails (Service Control Policies), and I built event-driven AWS Lambda automations for operational housekeeping.

In Azure and across platforms, I build multi-stage Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, manage AKS resources, and secure ingress with TLS using cert-manager and Azure DNS. I drive unified observability with Grafana, Datadog, and CloudWatch, implement HPA and rolling/blue-green release strategies, and even deploy MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers so LLM-based assistants can safely interact with platform APIs and infrastructure.
