AboutMe
I'm a platform-focused engineering leader with deep expertise in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and cloud-native infrastructure.
Over the last decade, I've scaled engineering systems and teams across global organizations and startups—from building developer platforms and observability pipelines at PlutoTV (Paramount), to leading infrastructure strategy as the founding SRE at Traive, and launching developer tooling products at Cuesoft.
Technical Excellence
I specialize in architecting resilient, multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms, automating CI/CD with Terraform and GitOps (ArgoCD), and driving SLO-based observability using OpenTelemetry, Datadog, and Prometheus.
Proven Impact
Led platform standardization that reduced incident rates by 35%, cut MTTR by 40%, and improved deployment efficiency by over 50%.
Leadership & Mentorship
As a founder and mentor, I've grown remote-first teams, launched a talent academy for junior engineers, and delivered infrastructure that powers 20+ startups.
Philosophy
I'm passionate about engineering culture, developer experience, and building systems that just work—secure, scalable, observable, and battle-tested.
“My leadership combines technical depth with strategic vision, enabling fast-moving teams to ship reliably at scale.”
