Message

At HPE R&D Labs, I designed and ran Kubernetes platforms and built CI/CD and GitOps workflows with Terraform, Ansible, Argo CD, and Helm. I also developed a telemetry pipeline with Elastic Stack, Prometheus, Grafana, and Kafka, and wrote Python and Bash tools for deployment validation and production diagnostics.

At Dell EMC, I supported Elastic Cloud Storage and implemented CI/CD automation and monitoring for ECS. I also built deployment validation and health-check tools, and received customer recognition in 2020.

I currently work remotely as an independent DevOps / Platform Consultant for clients in SaaS, retail, and enterprise IT, managing cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I build Kubernetes platforms, automate infrastructure and releases, and add security checks to delivery pipelines; I document runbooks, RCAs, and post-mortems so teams can operate independently.
