About Me:

As a DevOps engineer with over five years of experience, my primary focus is automation, cost savings, and security. I aim to help businesses accelerate, become more agile, and establish a track record of continuous improvement.

Throughout my career, I have successfully negotiated contracts with providers and developed flexible, scalable pipelines that adapt to evolving business needs. I facilitate seamless development and deployment processes by empowering engineers to work with minimal blockers and ensuring balanced operations during development.

• Cloud Cost Optimization: Conducted thorough reviews of cloud expenditures and implemented strategies to optimize resource usage, reducing over $50,000 in service costs annually. This involved negotiating with cloud providers to secure better rates and more favorable terms.
• Automated Deployment Processes: Transitioned deployment guides from manual to computerized actions, significantly reducing the time and effort required for releases. This protected release branches and minimized development costs by streamlining workflows and reducing human error.
• Staging and Integration Environments: Designed and implemented robust staging and integration environments to mirror production settings, ensuring smooth transitions and reliable testing. These environments facilitated early detection of issues, improving overall software quality and deployment reliability.
• Single Sign-On Implementation: Spearheaded the transition to single sign-on (SSO) for an entire workforce using SAML and Okta. This project enhanced security, simplified user access management, and improved user experience by enabling seamless access to multiple applications with a single set of credentials.
• Server and Framework Upgrades: Managed and executed upgrading Ubuntu servers and framework versions to enhance performance, security, and functionality. This included planning and coordinating downtime, testing new configurations, and ensuring compatibility with existing systems.
• API Integration and Management: Worked extensively with APIs to integrate various services and enhance system interoperability. Developed and maintained API documentation, implemented version control, and ensured seamless communication between infrastructure components.
• Cloud: Experience with various AWS services, including EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, and CloudFormation. Implemented infrastructure as code (IaC) using AWS CloudFormation and Terraform to automate the provisioning of cloud resources.

My commitment is to create a secure, efficient, and well-documented environment.
