About

I build resilient, secure, and cost‑effective cloud platforms on AWS, Azure, and GCP using Kubernetes, Terraform, and modern CI/CD. I enjoy solving reliability problems, automating everything that can be automated, and turning operational pain into platform products teams love to use.

What I do Link to heading

  • Design and operate production‑grade Kubernetes with a focus on security, scalability, and cost efficiency
  • Implement Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and GitOps workflows with Argo CD and Helm
  • Build CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) that are fast, reliable, and observable end‑to‑end
  • Introduce monitoring, tracing, and logging best practices with Prometheus/Grafana and cloud‑native tooling
  • Optimize AWS spend through right‑sizing, autoscaling, and architectural improvements

Core skills Link to heading

  • Multi-cloud architecture design
  • Kubernetes, Helm, Argo CD
  • Terraform and Terragrunt; modular, testable IaC
  • CI/CD with GitHub Actions; artifact/versioning strategies and release automation
  • Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, alerting, SLO/SLA thinking
  • End-to-end security solutions with DevSecOps practices

Experience highlights Link to heading

  • Built and maintained production Kubernetes clusters with autoscaling, network policies, and multi‑environment promotion
  • Migrated manual deployments to GitOps, reducing change failure rate and lead time for changes
  • Reduced AWS costs by improving capacity planning
  • Enhanced cloud security using tools like Prisma Cloud

How I work Link to heading

  • Measure, then automate: instrument first, then remove toil with pipelines and platform tooling
  • Security and reliability by default: least privilege IAM, policy as code, repeatable releases
  • Clear documentation and standards so teams can move fast without surprises
