About

I’m a Site Reliability Engineer with 8+ years of experience across QA, DevOps, and SRE, passionate about building scalable, reliable, and observable systems. I began my career in QA, which gave me a strong foundation in system behavior and performance under real-world conditions. Over time, I transitioned into DevOps and eventually SRE, where I now focus on building fault-tolerant infrastructure and automating reliability at scale. 🔧 Key Skills & Tools: - Cloud: Azure, AWS, Kubernetes (AKS), Docker, Vault - IaC & Automation: Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions, Jenkins - Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Datadog, ELK Stack - SRE Practices: SLIs/SLOs, incident response, blameless postmortems - CI/CD: End-to-end pipeline automation for high-frequency deployments I’ve led major infrastructure and observability overhauls at Maersk and Shuttl, reducing deployment time, increasing system resilience, and improving developer experience through better tooling and automation. I thrive in collaborative, high-trust environments and enjoy mentoring engineers transitioning into DevOps/SRE roles — a journey I’ve taken myself. Let’s connect if you're building scalable systems, adopting SRE practices, or leading DevOps transformation through automation and cultural change.
