DevOps Engineer supporting enterprise data and biomedical technology platforms at the American Red Cross in a multicloud environment. I work across AWS, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, security integration, and platform reliability to improve how teams build, deploy, monitor, and operate critical services.
My work includes infrastructure automation, GitLab and deployment pipeline support, Kubernetes platform operations, secrets and identity integration, observability improvements, incident/RCA follow-through, and collaboration with development, platform, and information security teams. I also serve as a technical point of contact for external consultancy engagements, helping coordinate vendor implementation work, provide internal platform context, review technical decisions, and ensure delivered work fits our security, reliability, and operational requirements.
I focus on making systems more reliable, understandable, and operable: reducing production risk, improving pre-flight checks and documentation, strengthening integrations between build and deploy processes, and turning operational issues into durable platform improvements.
