I’m a Lead DevSecOps and Site Reliability Engineer with deep experience building, securing, and operating AWS-based, cloud-native platforms at scale. My background spans AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes (EKS), GitOps, Terraform, and observability, with a strong focus on reliability, security, and operational excellence.
I specialize in designing highly available, production-grade systems and in turning complex infrastructure into repeatable, auditable automation. Much of my work centers on enabling engineering teams to move fast safely—by embedding security into CI/CD pipelines, enforcing least-privilege access, and building resilient platforms that stand up to real-world operational pressure.
Over my career, I’ve:
Architected and operated multi-account AWS environments using Terraform and GitOps patterns
Built and supported EKS clusters with production-ready networking, ingress, cert-management, autoscaling, and RBAC
Led DevSecOps initiatives, integrating security controls, vulnerability management, and compliance requirements directly into delivery workflows
Designed observability and alerting strategies using tools like New Relic and SIEM platforms to improve incident response and system visibility
Automated audits, evidence collection, and compliance workflows to support frameworks such as SOC 2, reducing manual effort and risk
Partnered closely with application teams to improve deployment reliability, reduce toil, and scale platforms sustainably
I’m known for being detail-oriented, pragmatic, and automation-driven, with a strong bias toward building systems that are not only secure and scalable, but also understandable and maintainable by the teams that operate them. I enjoy working at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and reliability, especially in environments where correctness, uptime, and trust matter.More...
