About

As a Staff SRE at SecurityScorecard, I apply my 13+ years of experience in IT to automate and secure the infrastructure and applications that power the leading cybersecurity ratings platform. I have expertise in DevOps tools, virtualization, system administration, networking, and databases, and I am proficient in Python and Linux. I also hold the AWS Certified Solutions Architect and the Certified SAFe® 4 Practitioner credentials, which demonstrate my knowledge and skills in cloud computing and agile methodologies. I enjoy collaborating with software developers and other IT staff to improve the efficiency and reliability of the IT processes, and I have successfully led and managed the release management and operations teams in my previous roles at TradeRev and Sprinklr. My mission is to deliver high-quality and scalable solutions that meet the needs and expectations of the customers and stakeholders. I am always eager to learn new technologies and best practices, such as Kubernetes, that can enhance my performance and contribution to the organization.
