Summary
DevOps and platform engineer with 11+ years in tech, including 8 years at Sonos where I owned CI/CD for the entire engineering organization — cutting build-failure rates from 30% to 0.9% and build times by 77%. Since 2023 I have designed, deployed, and operated cloud-native production systems independently across AWS and Google Cloud: Docker and Kubernetes, GitHub Actions pipelines, Cloudflare, and end-to-end observability. Based in Jerusalem and authorized to work in Israel.
