SITE RELIABILITY ENGINEER // DEVOPS // CLOUD ENGINEER

Results-driven SRE & DevOps engineer with 3+ years delivering production reliability in regulated financial environments. Proficient in full-stack CI/CD, cloud automation across AWS & Azure, and ELK/OpenSearch observability. Experienced in SLO/SLI design, incident command (P1/P2), cost optimization, and SQL-based production troubleshooting.

I build and automate reliable cloud infrastructure for high-stakes financial environments. My work centers on squeezing latency out of pipelines, hardening deployments with policy-as-code, and ensuring incidents resolve fast — with full observability from day one.

At Capital One I engineered end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Jenkins, deployed containerized workloads on Kubernetes and OpenShift, and cut AWS cloud spend by 28% through right-sizing and automated triggers.

I approach problems by correlating signals — ELK logs, Dynatrace APM, SLO budget burn — and building frameworks that teams can operate confidently. Zero repeat incidents after 8 months of SLO/SLI work with RCA and full Blameless PIRs.

ROLES // IMPACT // TIMELINE
SITE RELIABILITY ENGINEER / DEVOPS Sept 2024 — Present
Capital One // Toronto, ON
  • Engineered CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions & Jenkins; automated SonarQube quality gates and deployment validation across 15+ Capital One production workloads
  • Managed containerized deployment lifecycle using Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), and OpenShift with Helm chart management; sustained high availability during regulated releases
  • Provisioned and governed AWS infrastructure (EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS, IAM) with CloudFormation and Terraform; applied Ansible for configuration management
  • Designed full-stack observability using Dynatrace APM, Synthetic, Davis AI, and ELK/OpenSearch pipelines; built service maps and indexed anomaly detections
  • Implemented SLO/SLI framework with error budgets aligned to golden signals — cut repeat production incidents by 38% through RCA and reliability fixes
  • Led P1/P2 incident bridges as coordinator; ran SQL queries against financial services applications; correlated ELK logs for root cause and used Dynatrace Davis for rapid triage
  • Cut AWS cloud spend by 28% via right-sizing, savings plans, and AI-powered cost optimization triggers
ASSOCIATE SOFTWARE ENGINEER — SRE / DEVOPS / CLOUD Jul 2021 — Apr 2023
Accenture // India
  • Built and maintained CI/CD workflows using Jenkins, Git, Maven, SonarQube, Nexus, and Artifactory
  • Integrated observability and reliability checkpoints into SDLC; enforced quality across enterprise production environments
  • Operated Dynatrace APM (PurePath, Smartscape, Davis AI) and ELK/OpenSearch to identify and resolve critical production bottlenecks; built Kibana dashboards and Grafana panels for NOC and SRE teams
  • Administered Linux (RHEL, Ubuntu) and Windows Server environments; authored Bash/Shell and Python scripts for OS patching, SLO renewals, CVE remediation, health checks, and data enrichment
  • Provided 24/7 production support; maintained SLA compliance through structured escalation and post-incident documentation
