What I Do
AI-Augmented Ops
Claude & Codex skill files that cut vulnerability analysis from 60 min to under 2 min. Reasoning where scripts can't.
Platform Reliability
SLO definition, burn-rate alerting, and on-call infrastructure built to surface risk before customer impact.
Kubernetes Operations
EKS & GKE cluster management, blue-green upgrades, Karpenter node autoscaling, and Helm-based deployments.
Security & Hardening
CloudFront + WAF edge defense, secrets centralization, and automated kernel patching across the EC2 fleet.
Infrastructure as Code
Modular Terraform with remote state, mandatory tagging, and drift detection — every resource is reproducible.
CI/CD Pipelines
Designed and built GitLab CI/CD from scratch across 5+ microservices — multi-stage pipelines, environment-gated deployments, and 60% less manual intervention.
Cost Engineering
Rightsizing and resource cleanup based on utilization analysis — Karpenter over Cluster Autoscaler for 25% compute savings, combined with scheduled scaling and idle resource deletion.
Cloud Networking
Designed AWS VPC architecture with public/private subnet segmentation, NAT gateways, and security groups across dev, QA, and production environments.

View AllAI as an SRE Tool: Beyond the Hype
We moved from writing Python scripts for repetitive SRE tasks to using Claude skill files — and it changed how we think about automation. Here's what actually works, what doesn't, and why the distinction matters.

After a 90-minute outage taught us that blocking traffic at the origin is already too late, we redesigned our DDoS defense around CloudFront and WAF at the edge — and haven't had a successful attack in 2 years.
