About

Every reliable system begins with
a great engineer

Since starting my career as a DevOps engineer over 9 years ago, I’ve worked on modernizing CI/CD pipelines, automating cloud infrastructure, and ensuring system reliability for high-availability applications. At Fidelity Information Services (FIS), I’ve reduced deployment times by 35% and improved system uptime to 99.99% through Kubernetes and monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana.

My passion lies in building secure, scalable systems and automating workflows to empower development teams. I’ve developed in-house DevOps tools using Node.js and Angular, and I’m continuously enhancing my skills in cloud platforms and SRE practices to solve complex infrastructure challenges.
