About

I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer with deep expertise in cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes orchestration, and GitOps workflows. I specialize in building resilient, scalable platforms that empower development teams to ship faster and more reliably.

With hands-on experience migrating banking-sector workloads to Kubernetes — achieving a 40% reduction in resource usage — I bring both technical depth and business impact to every engagement.

I serve on technical committees, mentor teams on DevOps culture, and continuously explore AI-assisted operations to push the boundaries of platform engineering.
