About

Senior DevOps Engineer | 15+ yrs | Kubernetes & Terraform Expert | AWS | GCP | Azure | Infrastructure as Code | GitOps | CI/CD Automation | Cloud Architecture | Charlotte, NC Built infrastructure that powers Bank of America, global retail, healthcare, and sports tech platforms - managing 20,000+ servers across AWS, GCP, and Azure. I design systems that stay online no matter what, scale automatically, and deploy at lightning speed. Here’s what I actually do: • Build and scale Kubernetes platforms from the ground up - from bare metal to EKS and GKE. • Migrate critical systems (300+ services) to modern, cloud-native environments with zero downtime. • Automate everything using Terraform, Ansible, and CloudFormation - no manual configs, no chaos. • Design GitOps and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD) for 100+ microservices - deploy daily instead of monthly. • Optimize multi-cloud setups to cut costs, avoid vendor lock-in, and make failovers seamless. • Monitor smarter, not harder - with Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and AlertManager for instant visibility. • Lead and mentor teams - helping engineers grow into confident DevOps specialists who can make architectural calls on their own. I’m all about reliability, automation, and helping teams deliver faster without breaking things. Whether it’s banking, healthcare, or gaming - I make sure the infrastructure quietly does its job while everyone else moves forward.
