“Security-focused solutions engineer/technical consultant with the last five years centered on DevSecOps, vulnerability management, and cloud security for government and defense customers. Stands out for bridging customer stakeholders and engineering teams, leading security-focused discovery and POCs, and automating Jenkins-based CI/CD workflows to improve both security posture and developer efficiency.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps-focused engineer working across Linux-based enterprise platforms that include IBM Power/AIX in a broader OpenShift/Kubernetes and cloud ecosystem. Built Azure DevOps CI/CD for containerized deployments and resolved a production deployment failure by tracing ImagePullBackOff to outdated registry credentials in Kubernetes secrets. Uses Terraform (with modular structure) plus Ansible to provision and standardize production environments with pipeline-based validation.”

“Cloud/DevOps engineer (6+ years) with healthcare domain experience who has owned production AWS systems end-to-end—building real-time data pipelines and an admission forecasting ML service delivered via API and Tableau. Led EMR modernization from on-prem/VMs to containerized AWS using phased migration and blue-green deployments, achieving ~99.5% uptime while cutting on-prem footprint ~30% and driving major automation gains (up to ~90% manual work reduction).”
