About

I build and operate infrastructure that doesn't go down. As a Platform Engineer II with 5+ years of experience, I specialize in Kubernetes platform ownership, DevSecOps, FinOps, and CI/CD automation across AWS and on-premise environments. Currently at Pictory.ai, I orchestrate 500K+ daily AI video generation workloads on a hybrid ECS Anywhere + on-prem stack — maintaining 99.9% uptime SLA while cutting cloud spend by 55% through systematic right-sizing, Spot adoption, and self-hosted migrations. A few things I've delivered: 🔐 Led SOC 2 Type II & ISO 27001 certification end-to-end — embedding security controls into CI/CD pipelines and passing the audit in a single cycle. ⚙️ Built and owned CI/CD ecosystems (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD) that reduced deployment time by 45% and enabled multiple daily production releases with zero downtime. 📊 Deployed full observability stacks (Prometheus + Grafana + Alertmanager + ELK) across hybrid bare-metal and cloud workloads — cutting MTTR on P1 incidents significantly. 🏗️ Managed 30+ microservices on Kubernetes (EKS) with Helm and ArgoCD, and provisioned enterprise AWS environments end-to-end using Terraform.
