What I'm looking for

I want a senior GCP platform role where I can own Terraform-driven CI/CD, security and compliance (HIPAA/SOC 2), and automation at scale—while partnering with product teams and applying FinOps and observability to every architectural decision.

I’m a Senior GCP Cloud Platform Engineer with 4+ years at TELUS Health, where I operate as an internal cloud consultant and technical expert. I lead end-to-end GCP infrastructure delivery, enforce a zero click-ops standard through version-controlled Terraform pipelines, and advise product teams across a 1,000+ project GCP estate serving 20–30 teams.

Some of my proudest results include leading a 9-month, $600M+ Buck acquisition cloud migration (350+ VMs, 8 enterprise applications, near-zero downtime) with HIPAA and PIPEDA compliance, and building a self-serve GCP provisioning platform that reduced environment setup from 2 weeks to under 2 hours. I’ve also responded to a live security incident by deploying NGFW across 1,000+ tenants in 48 hours, reducing incident exposure, and I embed FinOps and observability governance into architectural decisions.
