I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 4+ years automating production-grade AWS infrastructure at enterprise scale. I focus on reliable delivery and measurable outcomes through infrastructure automation, GitOps, and security-first networking.

At Xgrid, I built and operated infrastructure for 20+ enterprise customers across multi-account AWS environments. I migrated 12+ legacy applications to EKS/ECS, cutting cloud costs 30%, and increased deployment reliability by 85% through a GitOps platform built around FluxCD. I also deployed Palo Alto NGFWs for a national railway project, enforcing network segmentation and zero-trust access control.

I work daily in Terraform and Kubernetes, using CI/CD automation to keep deployments fast and controlled. I built an EKS provisioning framework bundled with add-ons like Karpenter and CSI Driver, reducing cluster setup time by 70%, and implemented Karpenter-based autoscaling for GitLab CI runners to cut CI compute costs by 35%.

Beyond day-to-day delivery, I lead initiatives that harden platforms and improve governance. I migrated customer databases to Aurora Serverless v2 using AWS DMS, and I’ve driven account isolation for blast-radius reduction while integrating identity governance via AWS SSO and Google Workspace.
