About

Professional summary

I am a Senior DevOps and Platform Engineer with more than 14 years of IT experience, including over nine years focused on cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, platform engineering, Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, DevSecOps, and Site Reliability Engineering.

I design and operate secure, scalable, highly available AWS and Azure platforms for mission-critical applications. My experience includes supporting more than 200 applications, 30 Kubernetes clusters, and over 1,000 developers while delivering strong availability, reliability, and operational visibility.

I specialize in AWS EKS, Azure AKS, Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Argo CD, Flux CD, Docker, Helm, and cloud-native observability. I build reusable automation, self-service platform capabilities, and CI/CD delivery frameworks that improve developer experience and release reliability.

I have strong DevSecOps and cloud security experience, including identity and access management, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, container security, policy enforcement, and compliance validation. I also apply FinOps practices to optimize cloud spending through rightsizing, reserved capacity, savings plans, and resource tagging.

Throughout my career, I have led cloud migrations, modernized delivery platforms, improved deployment speed, reduced infrastructure provisioning effort, and supported production operations. I am experienced in incident response, root cause analysis, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and building reliable enterprise systems.
