What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can drive cloud automation and security at scale, own end-to-end infrastructure, and work with cross-functional teams to improve reliability and compliance.

I am a DevSecOps engineer with 9+ years in IT and deep hands-on experience across public and private clouds, automation, and cloud-native technologies.

I design and automate secure infrastructure using AWS, OpenStack, Terraform, Ansible/AWX, and Kubernetes, and I build CI/CD pipelines and observability with GitLab, Jenkins, Prometheus, and Grafana.

I've implemented security automation workflows with Qualys, Tenable, Prisma Cloud, and integrated SSO with Azure AD, while managing certificate deployment and lifecycle patching with Foreman+Katello.

I take end-to-end ownership of resilient, scalable environments, delivering repeatable automation, faster deployments, and improved compliance for production and hybrid-cloud systems.
