Lead DevOps Engineer • SRE • Platform Engineering

I design, automate, and operate resilient cloud platforms with Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Over 10+ years, I've led teams, shipped secure pipelines, and optimized costs for high-scale SaaS and FinTech products. I also handle basic AI/ML deployment: packaging models, containerized serving on Kubernetes, simple batch inference, and monitoring.

About Me

I am a DevOps leader focused on building secure, reliable, and cost‑efficient cloud infrastructure. I architect multi‑cloud environments, design GitOps‑driven CI/CD, and run production Kubernetes at scale. My background in software engineering helps me collaborate closely with product and engineering to deliver fast, resilient releases. I also bring hands‑on, basic AI/ML deployment experience for model packaging, batch inference and monitoring.
