I build self-healing, secure multi-cloud platforms at global scale
About Me
Reliability engineer because even computers need therapy sometimes. I speak fluent YAML and dream in Terraform. I architect platforms that serve 50M+ users with 99.99% uptime across global regions.
With deep expertise in Azure, AWS, and GCP, I specialize in Infrastructure as Code, containerization, and implementing resilient cloud architectures. I've reduced MTTR by 40% through automation, improved platform availability to 99.99%, and prevented over $1.2M in annual revenue loss.
My approach combines technical excellence with strategic thinking, ensuring infrastructure is not just reliable but also secure, cost-effective, and aligned with business objectives. I'm also passionate about ML Operations and fine-tuning LLMs for infrastructure automation.
