Staff SRE & Technical FinOps Engineer for remote-first infrastructure teams
I help distributed engineering teams run reliable Cloud platforms, Virtualisation platforms, Kubernetes platforms, reduce cloud spend, and turn observability into faster incident response.
I am a Staff SRE and FinOps-focused infrastructure engineer with 8+ years of experience across Circles.co, Zzazz, Broadcom, VMware, and startup environments. I specialize in Kubernetes, cloud cost visibility, observability, incident response, and operational automation for teams that need systems to be reliable without slowing product delivery.
My edge is combining deep infrastructure work with product and business context. After completing ISB's Product Management program, I have become especially interested in reliability work that connects engineering decisions to customer experience, cloud spend, team velocity, and business outcomes. I work well with async, remote-first teams and bring clear communication to ambiguous operational problems.
Defined runbooks, alert flows, and Slack-integrated incident response for faster recovery.
Implemented OpenCost and Kubernetes optimization to improve cost visibility and control.
Led a zero-downtime Kubernetes migration that helped teams ship more confidently.
Automated repeatable operational work so engineers could spend more time on product value.
At Zzazz, led the recovery of MongoDB systems after critical indexes were deleted during a security incident. Rebuilt database indexes, restored application stability, coordinated recovery under pressure, and helped the business regain access to affected systems.
Headed the cloud-to-cloud migration from DigitalOcean to AWS at Zzazz, moving the platform toward stronger reliability, scalability, and long-term infrastructure control.
I keep a deeper set of stories around outages, migrations, platform rebuilds, cost saves, and reliability wins that show how I operate when business-critical systems need ownership.
Working on SRE and FinOps for a global telecom technology environment, focused on reliable platforms, cloud cost visibility, operational efficiency, and collaboration across distributed engineering teams.
Joined as the first SRE and led platform engineering work for a remote engineering team. Built reliability practices from the ground up, reduced MTTR by 65% through runbooks, alert hygiene, and Slack-integrated incident workflows. Built observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, and OpenTelemetry. Cut cloud costs by 27% using OpenCost and Kubernetes optimization, and led a zero-downtime Kubernetes migration that improved release velocity by 3x while reducing operational toil by 80%.
Worked on reliability, debugging, and infrastructure support for enterprise software environments after VMware's transition into Broadcom. Partnered across engineering and support teams to analyze complex production issues, improve system behavior, and keep customer-facing platforms stable during organizational and platform change.
Provided technical leadership for complex VMware vCenter and ESXi environments, focusing on root cause analysis, escalated debugging, and high-severity customer issues. Translated deep infrastructure findings into clear action plans for customers and internal teams.
Handled second-line escalations for vCenter and ESXi, using log analysis, reproduction, and systems debugging to resolve complex infrastructure problems. Built a strong foundation in enterprise reliability, customer communication, and incident ownership.
