Senior DevOps & Cloud Engineer | 20+ Years in Tech | Kubernetes Expert I architect and operate cloud-native infrastructure at scale, including experience overseeing 300+ Kubernetes clusters on AWS serving millions of requests per day, driving high availability, cost optimization, and developer productivity for global platforms. My career spans the full evolution of modern infrastructure, from traditional Linux administration to cutting-edge cloud-native ecosystems. Today, I specialize in: ☁️ Multi-Cloud Engineering: Deep hands-on experience with AWS and GCP, plus Azure, designing resilient, scalable architectures for mission-critical workloads including multi-cloud migrations and consulting for multiple customers. ⚙️ Kubernetes at Enterprise Scale: Expert in EKS and GKE with Istio service mesh, Karpenter/KEDA autoscaling, and multi-cluster orchestration from on-premise clusters provisioned with kubeadm to managed cloud fleets. 🔒 DevSecOps & Zero-Trust: Policy-as-code with Kyverno, runtime detection with Falco, strict mTLS via Istio, and federated IAM with least-privilege access security embedded from build to runtime. 🚀 GitOps & Automation: Frictionless CI/CD with ArgoCD, Terraform/Terragrunt, GitHub Actions, Ansible, and Backstage self-service platforms, enabling teams to ship faster with confidence. 📊 Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Thanos, Mimir, and the Elastic Stack for full-stack visibility and proactive incident management. I hold 10 industry certifications, including the complete Kubernetes trilogy (CKA, CKAD, CKS), AWS DevOps Professional, GCP Professional DevOps Engineer, and Terraform Associate. I thrive on solving complex infrastructure challenges, optimizing costs without sacrificing performance, and enabling engineering teams to focus on what matters building great products.
