About
Hey! I’m a Principal DevOps Engineer with over 6 years of experience building and scaling cloud infrastructure on Microsoft Azure. Currently at Progress, I specialize in Kubernetes orchestration, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD automation.
My passion for automation is what drew me to the DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering tracks. I love designing systems that eliminate manual toil, improve deployment confidence, and empower teams to ship faster. Whether it’s crafting Terraform modules, optimizing AKS clusters, or building robust CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, I’m driven by making infrastructure reliable and developers productive.
Recent highlights include architecting multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms, migrating legacy infrastructure to Azure cloud, and implementing comprehensive observability solutions with Prometheus and Grafana. I work extensively with Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, Bicep, Helm, and PowerShell to deliver infrastructure that scales.
Outside of engineering, I keep things simple: I like staying in shape with CrossFit training, playing chess, and following football. Lately, I’ve also been spending time learning AI and experimenting with small ways to apply it in my day-to-day routine — whether that’s improving how I work, learn, or automate the little things.
Always happy to connect, collaborate, or chat about cloud infrastructure, automation, or the latest tech trends.
