About
Senior DevOps and Platform Engineer with 12+ years of total IT experience and 6+ years leading DevOps, DevSecOps, SRE, and Platform Engineering for fintech, iGaming, and crypto-native platforms. I build scalable Kubernetes and enterprise CI/CD platforms, automate infrastructure with IaC, and embed security-first SDLC practices to improve reliability, reduce deployment time, and optimize cost.
I’ve owned end-to-end infrastructure and operations across on-prem, hybrid, and cloud environments—delivering high-availability systems, full-stack observability, incident automation, and production readiness standards (SLOs/SLIs, runbooks, rollback strategies). I also mentor teams to raise engineering discipline and DevOps maturity while enabling business growth through resilient, compliant platform delivery.
