Lead production reliability, observability, CI/CD, testing, and incident response for multi-tenant and enterprise deployments.
Build repeatable, secure customer go-live processes across cloud and private environments.

Hands-on experience with multi-tenant cloud (AWS/Azure), Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, and data pipelines.
Demonstrated experience building engineering processes and quality culture without sacrificing delivery velocity.
Clear, direct communicator; high agency; comfortable making decisions with incomplete information.
