About
As a Platform Architect and Lead with 12 years of experience in designing, building, and operating mission-critical platforms at scale. My career has been defined by a deep focus on bridging the gap between legacy on-premises hardware and modern cloud-native orchestration. At Nokia, I have spearheaded the transformation of complex infrastructure into standardized, reusable cloud deployment patterns. My expertise lies in the intersection of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Kubernetes lifecycle management, and high-availability architecture. I specialize in managing large-scale Kubernetes fleets across diverse environments, including bare-metal (Talos/Sidero), OpenShift, and managed cloud services like EKS and AKS. What I bring to the table: Platform Engineering at Scale: Expert in building Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) using Terraform, ArgoCD, and Jenkins to enable self-service infrastructure and automated delivery. Operational Excellence: Deep experience in implementing full-stack observability (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenSearch) to ensure 99.9% uptime and proactive system reliability. Security-First Mindset: Lead for OS security initiatives, integrating Zero Trust principles and SSO (Azure AD) across hybrid environments. I am passionate about "productizing" infrastructure—turning complex systems into reliable, scalable, and automated foundations that drive business value. Technical Toolkit: Orchestration: Kubernetes (Bare-metal, EKS, AKS), Docker, Helm, OpenShift. IaC & Automation: Terraform, Python, Shell Scripting. Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenSearch, ELK Stack. CI/CD: ArgoCD, Jenkins, Spinnaker. Cloud: AWS (Karpenter, IAM, Networking), Azure (Defender, Monitor).
