About

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer and technical founder with 9+ years of experience building secure, scalable, and highly available cloud infrastructure. I’ve led platform and infrastructure initiatives across AWS-based environments, focusing on infrastructure as code with Terraform, reliable CI/CD for containerized services, and operational excellence for production systems.

I enjoy turning complex engineering and compliance needs into practical, repeatable delivery workflows—integrating observability with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Loki, and Tempo, and supporting reliable operations for databases and middleware such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Kafka, and Keycloak. Whether improving deployment consistency or reducing cost through better visibility and usage analysis, my goal is to help teams ship with confidence.
