What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can design secure cloud landing zones, lead GKE migrations and DR, and strengthen network security (e.g., Palo Alto integration). I want hands-on ownership with strong CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code practices across GCP/AWS/Azure.

I’m a cloud infrastructure engineer with 8+ years of experience designing, deploying, and managing scalable, secure cloud solutions—primarily on Google Cloud Platform, with additional depth in AWS and Azure. My core strengths span Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Functions, built with Infrastructure as Code via Terraform and Deployment Manager, and delivered through CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Cloud Build.

I’ve led landing-zone design, Kubernetes migrations, and disaster-recovery implementations, and I’ve deepened into network security for enterprise clients—deploying Palo Alto VM-Series NGFW with Advanced Threat Prevention, Advanced URL Filtering, Advanced DNS Security, and GlobalProtect. Previously, my work at First American and Wipro covered AWS-based DevOps automation (Terraform, ECS, Lambda, Route 53) and full-stack Java development using Java EE, Servlets, and Spring MVC, and I bring a pragmatic, security-first mindset to every engagement.
