About

As a Site Reliability Engineer, I specialize in building scalable, resilient systems and automating infrastructure operations. I’ve worked extensively with both AWS and Apple’s private cloud, deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters to support high-throughput applications handling 10K+ TPS. I bring hands-on experience across the SRE toolchain—automating with Shell and Python, managing deployments with Jenkins, Spinnaker (including Canary and Red/Black strategies), and configuring infrastructure with Ansible. I’ve also built end-to-end observability stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry for tracing, with a strong focus on real-time alerting and diagnostics. From reverse proxies like NGINX to fine-tuning dashboards and system health metrics, I’ve worked across all layers to ensure availability, performance, and continuous improvement in production environments. Additionally, I’ve implemented intelligent auto-scaling strategies to dynamically scale services up or down based on real-time traffic patterns, optimizing both performance and cost.
