About

I’m a Lead Site Reliability Engineer with 9+ years of experience building, scaling, and securing cloud infrastructure for fast-moving engineering teams. I enjoy solving deep technical problems, simplifying infrastructure, and creating systems that are reliable, observable, and cost-efficient. Over the years, I’ve worked across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and large-scale production systems, leading migrations, EKS upgrades, Karpenter adoption, observability improvements, and automation initiatives that remove operational pain. My strengths include: • Designing scalable and reliable Kubernetes platforms • Cloud optimization (compute, storage, RDS) • Automation using Terraform, Python, and Bash • Improving monitoring, alerting, and SRE processes • Building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins & ArgoCD • Reducing toil and improving developer experience • Incident management, on-call ownership & RCA culture I love working on infrastructure that actually makes engineers’ lives easier. Always open to discussing SRE strategy, platform engineering, and modern cloud solutions. If you're exploring something exciting in this space, feel free to connect!
