   As a Senior DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Consultant in the HR and payroll banking sector, I lead the design and delivery of resilient, fault-tolerant, and highly available infrastructure with strong disaster recovery (DR) capabilities to support business-critical, regulated workloads. I drive architecture decisions that ensure continuity, compliance, and the highest levels of reliability to meet strict SLA and regulatory requirements.I work hands-on and provide technical leadership across AWS, Terraform, and Kubernetes, implementing GitOps operating models using ArgoCD and Helm to standardize, automate, and govern multi-environment deployments. I design and optimize enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines, enabling secure, fast, and repeatable software delivery at scale.From an SRE perspective, I define and own reliability practices including SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, and observability strategies using Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch. I lead incident response, post-incident reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives, embedding reliability engineering principles across platform and application teams.My leadership has contributed to achieving 99.99% uptime, reducing deployment lead time by over 50%, and significantly increasing release confidence and operational maturity. As a senior consultant, I mentor engineers, lead complex transformation programs, collaborate with stakeholders across engineering, security, and business, and align platform strategy with long-term organizational goals and regulatory compliance.
