Background
Software engineering came first, 8 years of it. What kept me there was seeing people use something I built. DevOps is that same reward one step back, helping the engineers who build those things for everyone else.
At a payments company I run the developer platform: CI/CD, deployment, AI tooling and the migrations teams rely on. Build times came down 67%, from over 60 minutes to 20. I led the migration of 297 serverless stacks owned by 13 teams. The cloud optimization work saves $33K a month, with uptime holding above 99.95% on fintech systems.
The other half of the job is people. I mentor engineers in 12 global teams, run company-wide tech talks and coordinate the migrations that touch everyone. I am also on the weekly on-call rotation.
The best infrastructure is invisible to developers. It works, it scales and it keeps out of the way so teams can get on with what they are building.
Open to Staff or Lead DevOps, platform and SRE roles. I like to travel and would happily relocate.
