About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Cloud Platform and DevOps Engineer with more than 12 years of experience designing, automating, and operating scalable cloud infrastructure. I specialize in building secure, highly available platforms for large-scale production environments.

I have deep multi-cloud expertise across AWS, Azure, and GCP, with extensive hands-on experience in Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and GitOps. I focus on creating standardized, reusable platform capabilities that improve delivery speed and operational consistency.

I use Terraform, OpenTofu, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, Pulumi, and Ansible to automate infrastructure provisioning and reduce configuration drift. I also build deployment workflows with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline, Azure DevOps, Argo CD, and Flux CD.

I am experienced in observability and site reliability engineering, including monitoring, alerting, incident response, SLI/SLO design, error budgets, postmortems, and disaster recovery. My work has improved availability, reduced manual operations, and accelerated incident detection and recovery.

I bring a security-first approach to cloud engineering, including IAM, encryption, secrets management, cloud governance, and compliance practices for SOC 2, HIPAA, HITRUST, and ISO 27001. I also develop automation and platform services using Python, Go, Bash, PowerShell, Java, and .NET.

I have supported organizations including Stripe, Capital One, AWS, and Lumin Health. I am motivated by solving complex infrastructure challenges and delivering reliable cloud-native platforms that enable engineering teams to ship safely and efficiently.
