Senior DevOps Engineer @ Nielsen | Leading Infra & SRE

About

5+ years across DevOps, SRE and platform engineering, running production systems at scale in the cloud and on-prem. I design and run cloud-native platforms across AWS/GCP: infrastructure as code, GitOps delivery, observability and AI-driven operations. What I work on: • Platform engineering: self-service platforms that provision complete environments from code • AI infrastructure: hosting open-weight small language models (SLMs) on Kubernetes with custom operators • AIOps: LLM-powered agents for alert triage and automated incident remediation • Cloud and Kubernetes at scale: multi-cloud infrastructure, multi-cluster Kubernetes, autoscaling, zero-downtime upgrades and releases • Reliability: observability, incident response and disaster recovery • Cloud cost: right-sizing, ARM-based compute and infrastructure consolidation Happy to talk platform engineering, SRE or AI infra.
