Results-driven Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 6+ years of experience spanning cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and network engineering. Proven track record deploying production workloads on GKE, building GitOps-based pipelines, implementing IaC with Terraform, and automating infrastructure at scale. Brings a combination of deep networking expertise and modern cloud-native engineering — passionate about building scalable, secure, and reliable platform solutions.
Designed and operated end-to-end GCP cloud architecture using Terraform (IaC), deploying workloads across GKE, Cloud Run, Compute Engine, and managing Pub/Sub, Cloud Armor, VPC, IAM, Cloud Storage, and Cloud SQL across the full production lifecycle.
Implemented GitOps-based CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Cloud Build, automating build, test, and deployment workflows.
Architected and managed end-to-end integrations across hybrid environments — connecting on-premises and cloud systems. Designed and deployed a Kafka platform on GCP to replicate data across databases in different environments. Deploying Wiz and Palo Alto Cortex following cybersecurity best practices for secure cross-environment connectivity.
Integrated on-premises Gemini CLI with Google Vertex AI via Private Interconnect, enabling secure, low-latency AI inference from on-prem environments without exposing traffic to the public internet.
Built a schema validation developer tool (Python/FastAPI) that recursively inspects client API requests against OpenAPI/Swagger specs — pinpointing exact type mismatches, missing fields, and structural violations, dramatically reducing developer debugging time.
Instructed Python and networking courses covering security concepts including packet sniffing, DDoS, and application security.
Designed and delivered hands-on labs and interactive activities that translated complex security topics into accessible, practical learning experiences.
Architected and implemented large-scale, mission-critical network environments ensuring high availability, security compliance, and full lifecycle management from requirements through handoff.
Developed Python automation scripts for infrastructure tasks including automated backup of network device configurations across Cisco and CheckPoint platforms, and built Ansible playbooks to automate CheckPoint firewall rule deployment and ACL management on enterprise switches — reducing manual effort and eliminating configuration drift.
Managed robust network infrastructure using Cisco, CheckPoint, Crossbeam XOS, and Radware, enforcing security best practices and operating Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW).
Served as Tier 3/4 escalation point for complex network faults, applying deep OSI model expertise and protocol-level diagnosis to resolve critical issues.
