I am a Senior Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 5+ years designing and operating production-grade platforms. I am currently Senior DevOps & SRE Engineer at Netsible Solutions, delivering hybrid AWS/GCP infrastructure, GitHub Actions and Argo CD pipelines, and observability-led reliability for client estates.
My background spans fintech (Amazon EKS, Istio, PCI-DSS–aligned controls), platform automation at Afren.ai, humanitarian AWS advisory with Help.NGO, and independent multi-cloud work with measurable FinOps and compliance outcomes.

How I work with engineering leadership
These are the outcomes hiring managers and platform leads usually care about—whether the role title says DevOps, SRE, platform, or cloud infrastructure.
Platform hardening
Terraform-first infrastructure, least-privilege IAM, network boundaries, and policy checks (e.g. Checkov, Security Hub) wired into pipelines—not afterthought scans.
Delivery velocity
GitHub Actions, Argo CD, and reusable modules so teams ship safely: progressive rollouts, environment parity, and rollback paths that operators trust.
Observable operations
Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and structured logging so SREs and developers share the same signals—SLOs, alerts, and incident workflows that reduce MTTR.
Core technical skills
Depth across the full delivery loop: design, implement, secure, observe, and operate. Tooling is representative—I adapt to your standards (e.g. Datadog, OpenTelemetry, GitLab CI) where needed.
