Architected and operate cloud-native GCP infrastructure for a multi-tenant SaaS platform processing 150K+ customer reviews/month, owning environments end-to-end. ● Provisioned all infrastructure via Terraform: GKE workloads, Cloud Run serverless, and Pub/Sub event-driven pipelines, with Bash and Python scripting for release automation. ● Built zero-downtime CI/CD pipelines with automated rollback across production and staging — zero deployment incidents to date. ● Enforced IAM, Secret Manager, and VPC hardening across all customer environments, alongside ongoing server and configuration management. ● Delivered a full observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) supporting 30+ third-party integrations at 99.9% uptime SLA. ● Translated infrastructure trade-offs into plain-language updates for non-technical founders, directly supporting product and roadmap decisions.
