What I'm looking for

I am an innovative IT professional with extensive, multidisciplinary expertise spanning system administration, data science, full-stack development, and data analysis. My passion lies in uniting infrastructure and technology, automating cloud workflows, and developing end-to-end machine learning solutions that convert complex data into actionable insights. Through the implementation of CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code, I have consistently achieved up to 30% in cost savings while maintaining 99.9% uptime and expediting feature rollouts for geographically distributed teams.

As a collaborative mentor, I excel at steering remote Agile teams through technical challenges, aligning business and engineering objectives, and delivering sustainable solutions that drive growth and empower stakeholders. My experience includes managing Kubernetes clusters and AWS EC2 autoscaling groups, automating infrastructure provisioning, and enhancing data processing workflows. I am committed to leveraging my skills to create impactful solutions that meet the needs of both the business and its customers.
