What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering role focused on cloud reliability, automation, cost optimization, and observability where I can reduce MTTR and improve system efficiency.

I am a Site Reliability Engineer and DevOps practitioner with over 3 years of hands-on experience designing, automating, and optimizing AWS, Kubernetes, and Linux environments. I focus on high availability, cost reduction and faster incident response, having implemented cost-saving measures (ECR lifecycle policies, S3 Intelligent-Tiering, Graviton migration, gp2→gp3) and automated cleanup scripts that reduced cloud spend and operational overhead.

I build observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry), service meshes (Linkerd), and CI/CD integrations to improve MTTR and enforce SLOs, while contributing to security and compliance through embedded vulnerability scanning and IAM/WAF controls. I collaborate across teams to standardize alerting, runbooks and on-call processes, and I’ve developed automation (Slack bot, Jenkins integrations, Terraform) to streamline operations and incident workflows.
