Senior AWS DevOps engineer driving scalable, secure cloud and CI/CD automation for AI and data platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior AWS DevOps Engineer with over 10 years of experience building reliable, automated cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines for large enterprises. I specialize in AWS, multi-cloud deployments, and automation to support AI and data-intensive workloads.
At Cisco, I led DevOps modernization for AI infrastructure, implemented Terraform and Ansible automation that cut provisioning time by 45%, and improved deployment consistency across hybrid clouds. I also refactored Jenkins pipelines to reduce build times by 35% and integrated enterprise tooling to accelerate developer productivity.
Previously at Delta and Deloitte, I delivered observability, cost optimization, and secure automation improvements—reducing release time by 50%, lowering compute costs by 25%, and improving MTTR by 40%. I designed GitLab/GitHub CI/CD with integrated security gates and implemented Terraform/CloudFormation modules for reproducible environments.
I bring deep hands-on skills in container orchestration, monitoring, IaC, scripting, and database/cloud services, and I mentor engineers to adopt DevSecOps practices. I seek roles where I can drive automation, reliability, and secure scaling of cloud-native AI and data platforms.
