What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in cloud automation and SRE methodologies, within a collaborative team that values innovation and operational excellence.

I am a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with extensive experience in enhancing system performance, scalability, and reliability across complex cloud and on-premise environments. I proactively drive operational excellence by implementing robust SRE methodologies, developing practical automation solutions, and engineering comprehensive monitoring capabilities. My proven ability to tackle complex challenges in distributed systems is informed by a strong analytical perspective, backed by a background in software testing and cybersecurity.

At PixelogicMedia, I developed an AWS IAM key rotation solution that eliminated manual rotations and cut downtime by over 95%. I also designed a Python system for auto-discovering application logs and generating CloudWatch configurations. My work with Elasticsearch has significantly improved incident response capabilities and observability across large-scale clusters. I am committed to improving system observability and efficiency, ensuring that my contributions lead to enhanced operational performance.
