About

I’m a DevSecOps and Platform Engineering leader with 20+ years of experience across software engineering, QA, SRE, and cloud infrastructure — building secure, scalable systems in both the U.S. and the Philippines. I currently lead platform automation for the Philippines’ largest bank, driving IaC governance and CI/CD across AWS, Azure, and GCP. My team supports 1,400+ repositories across multiple business units, enabling secure, compliant, and efficient cloud delivery through GitHub workflows and reusable Terraform/Terragrunt modules. I bridge deep technical expertise with strategic leadership, working across engineering, security, and operations to modernize delivery, embed security, and scale DevSecOps practices. I’ve led platform and automation efforts across fintech, healthcare, and insurance — shaping resilient systems and distributed teams. Always open to meaningful conversations about platform strategy, secure infrastructure, and building high-trust engineering cultures.
