Senior DevSecOps and Site Reliability Engineer with end-to-end ownership of CI/CD platforms in regulated,
enterprise environments. I design, implement and govern Jenkins / CloudBees and Octopus Deploy ecosystems,
automate certificate and PKI workflows, and help teams ship securely, consistently and with confidence.
Recent work includes leading Octopus Deploy rollout and automation across Allstate Canada,
hardening and modernising CloudBees Jenkins, driving SecureFlow CI/CD standards,
and engineering certificate lifecycle automation across Windows and Linux estates.

Approach & Philosophy
How I think about DevSecOps, reliability and platforms
I treat CI/CD and deployment tooling as products:
with clear ownership, documentation, and predictable interfaces.
Good platforms make the secure, correct path the easiest one.
I favour opinionated standards over ad-hoc solutions.
Shared libraries, reusable templates and runbooks reduce cognitive load, improve auditability,
and let teams move faster without re-solving the same problems.
My work balances reliability, security and developer experience:
automation should be transparent, debuggable, and aligned with compliance —
not a black box that teams work around.
Mentoring, documentation, and cross-team collaboration are core parts of the role:
they turn platform decisions into organisational capability, not individual heroics.
Key Projects & Impact
Selected initiatives that represent my work (non-confidential)
SecureFlow CI/CD Framework:
Led design and implementation of an opinionated CI/CD framework on Jenkins / CloudBees,
embedding build, test, security scanning and deployment patterns that standardise delivery across teams
while aligning to enterprise governance.
Octopus Deploy Platform Ownership:
Designed and rolled out a highly available Octopus Deploy environment at Allstate Canada,
including onboarding processes, SOPs, training and automation for deployment and runbook scenarios.
Certificate Lifecycle Automation:
Engineered automation for SSL/TLS certificate discovery and lifecycle management across Windows and Linux,
reducing manual effort, untracked certificates and expiry-related incidents.
Cloud & PaaS Transition Support:
Supported the transition from legacy infrastructure to Allstate Enterprise PaaS,
ensuring CI/CD, security and automation practices scale with the new platform.
Monitoring & Observability Foundations:
In previous roles at Kurtosys, improved monitoring, alerting and log aggregation,
providing actionable insight for engineering and clients.
