About

I am a Platform Engineering, SRE, Cloud Infrastructure, and DevSecOps leader with 10+ years of experience building, scaling, securing, and optimizing cloud-native platforms across AWS, GCP, and Azure. My work spans large-scale Kubernetes environments, distributed systems, infrastructure automation, cloud security, reliability engineering, observability, and compliance. I have led multi-cloud platform initiatives across GKE, EKS, and AKS, supported high-scale microservice environments, improved platform reliability, and reduced cloud spend through FinOps practices such as workload right-sizing, Spot VM adoption, VPA, OpenCost, and savings plan optimization. I bring hands-on depth across Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, GitHub Actions, Vault, SOPS, Linux, Python, Go, CI/CD, WAF, CSPM, SIEM, and observability stacks. I have also led security and compliance programs including SOC 2 Type II, cloud security hardening, vulnerability management, secrets management, and infrastructure governance. As a leader, I manage and mentor engineering teams, drive platform standardization, improve developer experience, and work closely with security, product, and engineering stakeholders to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure. I enjoy solving complex infrastructure problems, building strong engineering practices, and creating platforms that help teams move faster without compromising security or reliability. Core areas: Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, DevSecOps, Kubernetes, Cloud Infrastructure, AWS, GCP, Azure, Terraform, CI/CD, Observability, Cloud Security, FinOps, SOC 2, and Infrastructure Automation.
