DevOps Engineer @five9 | Building Scalable Cloud & Kubernetes Platforms | MLOps

About

I build and operate production-grade infrastructure that doesn't go down and recover it fast when it does. Currently at Skit.ai, I manage Kubernetes infrastructure across AWS EKS and on-prem clusters serving enterprise banking clients. My work spans autoscaling migrations, CI/CD optimization, compliance initiatives, and hands-on production incident recovery. I care about systems that are reliable, observable, and cost-efficient. If something breaks at 2am, I want to already know why before the alert fires. Core stack: Kubernetes, AWS EKS, Terraform, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Helm, Tempo Open to DevOps and Platform Engineering roles where infrastructure quality actually matters.
