I am an Engineering Manager with hands-on expertise in platform engineering, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, security, and reliability. I combine people leadership with a practical approach to secure software delivery and operational excellence.
I lead cross-functional DevOps and Security teams, shape technical roadmaps, manage budgets, recruit and develop engineers, and align infrastructure priorities with business outcomes. I have supported team growth through regular one-to-ones, performance reviews, mentoring, and clear operational ownership.
I have extensive experience designing and operating cloud platforms on AWS, implementing Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, and improving observability through tools such as Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and VictoriaMetrics. My work has focused on scalable, reliable, and repeatable infrastructure.
I am experienced in FinOps and cloud cost optimisation, having reduced cloud expenses by 40% through cost-management practices, centralised reporting, and engineering-led governance. I also build automation using Python, CI/CD platforms, and GitOps workflows to improve delivery speed and reduce manual effort.
Security is an integral part of my engineering approach. I have introduced secure SDLC practices, SAST, secret scanning, repository governance, risk-management processes, security champion programmes, and bug bounty initiatives.
I also have experience as an IT lecturer and technical mentor, teaching networking, security, computer architecture, and cloud computing. I enjoy translating complex technical concepts into clear guidance for engineers, students, and business stakeholders.
