What I'm looking for

I seek a role focusing on cloud/SaaS reliability and incident management where I can build observability, automate runbooks, reduce MTTR, and mentor teams in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am a support engineer and SRE specializing in cloud and SaaS reliability, incident management, and automation. I have a proven record of reducing MTTR using AI-driven insights, building monitoring stacks, and creating ChatOps workflows that streamline troubleshooting and escalation.

Across roles from Senior SaaS Engineer to SRE Lead, I designed and managed cloud infrastructure on AWS and Azure with Terraform, Kubernetes, and configuration management tools, led system architecture and production automation, and mentored teams to improve reliability and operational maturity.
