What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead enterprise migrations, strengthen security and compliance, and build reliable Kubernetes/OpenShift and middleware operations. I want to expand automated CI/CD and performance tuning to keep critical systems available.

I’m a Senior DevOps & middleware specialist who has focused on enterprise Linux systems, application server management, and core banking infrastructure. I help organizations deliver reliable services by combining deep middleware expertise with automation and platform engineering.

Since 2019, I’ve orchestrated full enterprise server migrations, moving mission-critical applications and services between Linux environments with zero downtime. I also manage Temenos T24 core banking application frameworks (TAFJ & TAFC), optimizing compilers, runtime environments, and database performance.

On the platform side, I configure, benchmark, and troubleshoot JDBC data source connections, connection pools, and datasources across IBM WebSphere, Oracle WebLogic, and JBoss environments. I build and maintain Kubernetes clusters and Red Hat OpenShift environments on Linux VMs for high-availability deployments.

I design CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Git, and Ansible to automate build, deployment, and testing, and I lead cross-functional teams to review, classify, and resolve complex technical audit findings and security compliance requirements. Earlier in my career, I administered enterprise Linux servers, drove patching and security hardening, and used Nagios monitoring to ensure stable operations.
