Seasoned Senior DevOps/Site Reliability Engineer with a decade of experience designing scalable, resilient infrastructure and automation solutions across cloud and on-prem environments. I specialize in transforming legacy operations into codified, self-service platforms using Terraform, Ansible, GitOps, and CI/CD best practices. Known for replacing brittle workflows with repeatable, version-controlled systems that enable speed, reliability, and compliance. I turn infrastructure chaos into clockwork—and downtime into a myth.
