I’m a Senior Site Reliability & DevOps Engineer with about 9 years of hands-on experience running and improving Kubernetes-based platforms in production. I focus on reliability engineering—building SLOs/SLIs, applying error-budget practices, and leading incident response with thorough postmortems to drive concrete corrective actions. I enjoy bridging deep cloud operations with automation: improving observability using tools like Prometheus/Grafana/ELK and implementing platform automation to reduce deployment and database provisioning time significantly. My background spans AWS/Azure and Kubernetes operations, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and building reusable infrastructure modules and automation for faster, safer releases.…I’m a Senior Site Reliability & DevOps Engineer with about 9 years of hands-on experience running and improving Kubernetes-based platforms in production.
