Ex-Citi DevOps Engineer | Neurodivergent Thinker Leveraging Automation for Creative, Scalable Solutions
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, and 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, reducing incident resolution times by 30% by implementing streamlined support models and automation.
As a neurodivergent thinker, I leverage strengths in creative problem-solving, adaptability, and systematic thinking to approach challenges from unique angles. I thrive on helping teams run smoothly and am eager to contribute to building robust, innovative technology.
