I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with 15+ years designing cloud infrastructure at scale and leading infrastructure teams. I specialize in Kubernetes architecture, multi-cloud operations (AWS, GCP, Azure), and infrastructure automation for systems processing billions of transactions and serving millions of users. I’ve managed 20,000+ servers across multiple clouds and led large-scale infrastructure migrations while driving reliability, security, and cost optimization. Currently, I guide infrastructure strategy across 5 parallel projects in financial services, retail, healthcare, and sports. I’m passionate about building scalable, compliant, and observable platforms, mentoring engineers, and delivering production-ready solutions that meet regulatory requirements (HIPAA, PCI-DSS) and business objectives.
