What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and operate reliable cloud-native platforms, improving CI/CD, Kubernetes deployments, observability, incident response, and secure enterprise integrations.

At Ericsson, I manage cloud-native fintech workloads for the Ericsson Wallet Platform across AWS and on-premise infrastructure, supporting highly available payment systems with 99.9% uptime. I build GitLab CI pipelines, deploy and upgrade Kubernetes applications with Helm, validate 100+ API endpoints, and automate operational work with Bash scripts that reduced manual effort by 70%.

I've also supported 3-D Secure payment authentication at Modirum MDPAY, OpenShift and Kubernetes platforms for Tapestry and MyTelenorApp at Systems Ltd, and Linux-based production systems at Planet Beyond. Across fintech, telecom, and enterprise environments, I focus on incident resolution, root cause analysis, observability, secure integrations, and dependable releases.
