Introduction
Overview.
Senior DevOps & Platform Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience architecting multi-cloud infrastructure (GCP/AWS/Azure), Kubernetes orchestration, and DevSecOps practices. I specialize in building scalable, secure, and highly available systems—identifying, patching, and remediating vulnerabilities across cloud environments with a strong focus on automation and observability. My expertise extends into MLOps and AI infrastructure, where I leverage local LLMs and tools like vLLM and n8n to drive productivity and efficiency. Let's collaborate to build the next generation of secure, robust cloud solutions.
