I’m a Lead Engineer with 9+ years of experience solving complex production challenges across cloud infrastructure, enterprise applications, Kubernetes, automation, and platform reliability. At Acquia, I lead investigations into business-critical incidents and build systems that make operations more proactive and resilient. My work has contributed to: • Sustaining 99.9% uptime during peak-traffic events • Reducing reactive support cases by 20% through observability-led detection • Reducing release-related incidents by 40% by resolving recurring CI/CD failures • Improving operational efficiency by 30% through Bash and Python automation My core expertise includes Kubernetes and Amazon EKS, AWS, Docker, Linux, CI/CD, incident management, root-cause analysis, observability, and performance troubleshooting. I regularly work with New Relic, Sumo Logic, Datadog, CloudWatch, GitLab, Bash, Python, and Go. I also contribute to open-source projects and build practical products, including Dynamic Volume Controller, a browser extension designed to balance inconsistent audio levels in real time. Recently, I’ve been exploring Agentic AI for platform engineering—building intelligent workflows that accelerate troubleshooting, improve knowledge retrieval, automate repetitive operational tasks, and support faster root-cause analysis. I enjoy working on difficult engineering problems where reliability, automation, and thoughtful collaboration can create measurable impact. If you’re working on cloud-native platforms, production reliability, intelligent automation, or open-source engineering, I’d be happy to connect.
