What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on DevOps/observability role where I can own cloud infrastructure, improve reliability, mentor teams, and reduce operational cost while working in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am a DevOps & Observability Engineer with hands-on experience owning AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and full-stack observability systems across startup environments.

I specialize in the LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) and OpenTelemetry, focusing on backend instrumentation, log parsing, trace-metric-log correlation, IRM, and alerting design. I have delivered instructor-level Grafana training and upskilled internal teams.

I have led end-to-end incident response, performed CloudWatch log forensics, rotated compromised credentials, migrated secrets to AWS Secrets Manager, enforced IAM least-privilege, and authored secrets governance policies to eliminate future exposure risks.

I design and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions), automate infrastructure with Terraform and CloudFormation, optimize cloud costs, and communicate technical risks and remediation to non-technical stakeholders.
