About
I’m a DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with 9+ years of hands-on experience designing, automating, and scaling enterprise cloud infrastructure and cloud-native platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I focus on building resilient systems end to end—CI/CD engineering, Kubernetes orchestration, infrastructure as code, security automation, observability, and production reliability—so engineering teams can ship confidently with measurable uptime and performance.
I partner closely with engineering, security, and technical leadership to translate business priorities into operational practices like SLO/SLI definitions, error budgets, incident command readiness, and graceful degradation. I’ve led platform modernization efforts (including Kubernetes migrations), improved deployment velocity, reduced critical production vulnerabilities, and delivered cloud cost optimization—while mentoring teams and setting engineering standards that strengthen reliability at scale.

Led cloud infrastructure and platform engineering across AWS, Azure, and GCP for 5+ product lines, maintaining 99.99% platform availability and reducing customer-impacting incidents. Architected and standardized enterprise CI/CD and GitOps delivery using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Argo CD, adding automated quality gates, progressive delivery, and rollback workflows that improved deployment velocity by 60%. Modernized Kubernetes deployments across EKS, AKS, and GKE by migrating and standardizing 15+ microservices with Helm-based patterns, autoscaling, service-mesh practices, and resilient deployment strategies. Established organization-wide Terraform IaC standards with reusable modules and environment-specific patterns, reducing provisioning time from 3+ days to under 1 hour and eliminating configuration drift across dev/stage/prod. Defined and operationalized DevOps reliability standards including SLIs/SLOs and error budgets, integrating production health objectives into release pla
Engineered and operated highly available cloud platforms across AWS and Azure, supporting distributed production workloads and maintaining 99.95%+ availability through proactive reliability engineering, capacity planning, and infrastructure automation. Modernized CI/CD delivery using Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, and Argo CD with automated testing, deployment gates, and rollback workflows—improving release consistency and reducing deployment-related incidents by 60%. Designed and managed Kubernetes environments across EKS and AKS for 15+ microservices, standardizing Helm-based deployments, autoscaling, health checks, and progressive delivery patterns to improve application resilience and operational efficiency.
