I am a DevOps SRE professional with 14 years of experience driving successful software development and delivery processes. I bridge development and operations teams, implement DevOps practices, optimize workflows, and leverage cutting-edge tools and technologies to ship reliable software. I have hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, IaC (Terraform, ARM templates, CloudFormation), and automation with Ansible, Jenkins, and monitoring/observability tools (Dynatrace, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, ELK, Datadog). I collaborate with security teams to integrate security into the SDLC, design blue-green or canary deployments, and lead continuous improvement initiatives in large-scale distributed systems. I enjoy working with cross-functional teams to align reliability goals with business outcomes.
