Background

I design and run multi-cloud platforms across GCP, AWS, and Azure, building reliable systems with Kubernetes, Terraform, and secure CI/CD pipelines.

My focus areas include platform engineering, SRE, and AI infrastructure, with deep observability stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry to drive reliability and cost efficiency.

As a founder, I build infrastructure products and automation that help teams ship faster with less operational overhead.

I share what I learn through open source and talks as a Google Developer Expert (Cloud).
