I’m a DevOps Engineer and Application Support Analyst passionate about building resilient, scalable systems in high-stakes environments. My drive for technology started early, tinkering with Arduinos & Raspberry Pi around age 10, and has evolved into a career ensuring mission-critical financial platforms operate with precision.

Recently, I applied my skills on the Citi equity derivatives trading floor, where I was responsible for systems requiring 99.98% availability. In this high-pressure role, I didn’t just resolve issues; I engineered sustainable improvements. I reduced incident resolution times by 30% by implementing a follow-the-sun support model and streamlined documentation. My focus is always on addressing root causes to deliver long-term stability.

As a neurodivergent thinker with dyslexia and dyscalculia, I leverage strengths in creative problem-solving, adaptability, and systematic thinking. This allows me to approach challenges from unique angles, whether it’s automating deployments with AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes or optimizing cross-team workflows. My colleagues have highlighted my ability to bridge technical and business needs, build trust with stakeholders, and mentor team members effectively.

I’m drawn to complex problems at the intersection of automation, system architecture, and human interaction. I thrive on helping teams run smoothly and am eager to connect with forward-thinking teams where I can contribute to building robust, innovative technology.
