What I'm looking for

I seek senior cloud/platform roles where I can design scalable, secure multi-cloud infrastructure, lead SRE/GitOps practices, reduce costs, and mentor teams in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Engineer with 9+ years building scalable, secure, multi-cloud systems using Terraform, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD. I hold Google Developer Expert (Cloud), CKA, CKAD, and GCP Professional Cloud Architect certifications and have a proven record of improving uptime to 99.9% while reducing costs up to 30%.

I specialize in container orchestration, Infrastructure-as-Code, observability, and secure isolated compute environments, having architected distributed GPU and backend platforms, implemented GitOps pipelines, and led SRE initiatives across GCP, AWS, Azure and other providers. I enjoy speaking at conferences and contributing to developer communities.
