Software Engineer — AI DevOps & Cloud
DevOps-focused software engineer building scalable enterprise applications. Rooted in backend engineering with Java/Spring — now focused on CI/CD automation, cloud infrastructure, and AI-assisted developer productivity.
About
DevOps-focused Software Engineer with 10+ years building scalable enterprise applications. My foundation is in backend engineering — Java/J2EE, Spring, Vert.x, and REST services — and over time my focus has expanded into DevOps, CI/CD automation, cloud infrastructure, and developer productivity.
I specialize in designing and automating CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions across GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Cloud. I also work with Kubernetes to deploy and orchestrate containerized services in cloud environments. I use Develocity to improve build performance, reliability, and the overall developer experience, helping engineering teams ship faster with fewer bottlenecks.
I'm interested in applying AI to software engineering and DevOps — from GitHub Copilot to broader LLM-based tooling — to automate repetitive work, accelerate development cycles, improve code quality, and drive engineering velocity across teams.
