Senior DevOps Engineer

Over 19 years, I've built and led infrastructure across cloud-native and hybrid environments — AWS, Azure, and GCP, all on Kubernetes. I've worked as a Tech Lead managing backend, frontend, and fullstack teams, shipping complex platforms under real production load.

I founded DevMetry, an engineering metrics platform that tracks DORA metrics and developer productivity for engineering teams. I build it solo, end to end.
