About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Site Reliability and DevOps Engineer with more than 15 years of production infrastructure experience and over 12 years of hands-on AWS experience. I specialize in Kubernetes platform engineering, cloud architecture, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD automation, observability, security, and incident response.

I operate and evolve large-scale AWS EKS and Azure AKS environments, with experience in cluster upgrades, networking, ingress, autoscaling, storage, security policies, and high availability. I have led zero-downtime platform migrations and modernization programs across distributed cloud environments.

I build reusable, version-controlled cloud platforms using Terraform, Pulumi, Python, Bash, and YAML. My work includes provisioning cloud accounts, Kubernetes platforms, networking, monitoring, security controls, databases, and application services.

I design reliable delivery workflows using GitLab CI/CD and GitHub Actions, covering validation, automated testing, container builds, environment promotion, deployment controls, rollbacks, and release safety. I partner closely with application teams to improve DevOps practices and operational readiness.

I have extensive experience in observability, incident response, root-cause analysis, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and security controls. I use metrics, logs, traces, audit data, and network diagnostics to resolve complex distributed-system failures and improve service reliability.

Career history

Senior Site Reliability Engineer CloudHarbor S.A.L.

I manage production EKS and AKS environments, including upgrades, node lifecycle, ingress, autoscaling, storage, Cilium networking, security policies, performance, and availability. I led a staged migration from NGINX Ingress to Envoy Gateway across approximately 100 EKS and AKS clusters without customer-facing downtime.

I design and maintain GitLab CI/CD and GitHub Actions workflows for infrastructure and applications. I build reusable Terraform and Pulumi components, implemented observability with Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch, and support security, compliance, incident response, and production troubleshooting across AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, and Microsoft Entra ID.

Senior Site Reliability Engineer Aurea Software / Crossover

I operated production SaaS infrastructure across AWS, GCP, Azure, IBM Cloud, and VMware Cloud on AWS for globally distributed products and engineering teams. I led data-center-to-cloud migrations and application modernization initiatives, designing scalable cloud architectures and controlled transition plans.

I built and operated Kubernetes and Docker platforms using Helm, Terraform, Pulumi, Python, and Bash. I owned production support and on-call response, implemented monitoring with Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic, and Nagios, and partnered with application teams on release automation, operational readiness, scalability, and disaster recovery.

VAS and BSS Consultant Tecnotree OYJ

I installed, integrated, upgraded, and supported business-critical telecommunications platforms across the Middle East and Africa. My work covered roaming, IVR, billing, customer lifecycle, call-completion, conferencing, and USSD services.

I diagnosed live-service incidents using Linux administration, system and application logs, database analysis, and network troubleshooting. I coordinated service restoration, customer communications, documentation, and corrective maintenance.

VAS Engineer Modulus Telecom

I delivered Linux-based mobile-service platforms, data migrations, and integrations with operator networks. I provided post-implementation production support and resolved operational incidents.

I also contributed technical expertise to pre-sales activities, solution design, implementation planning, and customer demonstrations.
