I build platforms that scale teams, not just infrastructure.
Platform Engineer & DevOps Lead with deep experience designing AI-enabled, observable and automated platforms across Azure, AWS and hybrid environments. I focus on empowering engineering teams through self-service platforms, infrastructure automation, and AI-augmented workflows.
My work lives at the intersection of cloud, DevOps, observability and applied AI — where reliability, cost, and developer experience matter as much as innovation.
- Designing internal developer platforms (IDP) and shared infrastructure layers
- Building golden paths, reusable modules and opinionated templates
- Enabling teams via self-service pipelines and infrastructure
- Integrating LLMs and Azure AI services into cloud platforms and automation tools
- AI-assisted operations, diagnostics and developer workflows
- Exploring agent-based systems and AI-driven observability
- CI/CD platforms with GitHub Actions & Azure DevOps, focused on reusability and governance
- End-to-end automation: infra lifecycle, deployments, operations
- Strong Infrastructure as Code culture (Terraform, Bicep, CDK)
- Designing full-stack observability with OpenTelemetry as a foundation
- Metrics, logs and traces with Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo
- Cloud-native monitoring: Azure Monitor, CloudWatch, X-Ray
- Cloud: Azure (primary), AWS, hybrid & on-prem
- Platform & IaC: Terraform, Bicep, AWS CDK
- Containers & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes (AKS, EKS, k3s)
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins
- Languages: Python, TypeScript, Node.js, Bash, PowerShell
- AI & Data: Azure AI, LLM integrations, serverless AI workloads
