With a heavy heart, I want to share that today, I was impacted by the recent #layoffs in my organization at HPE, and my H-1B 60-day clock will officially begin soon. I have a limited window to land my next opportunity, and every day matters. My payroll here ends in just 10 days, and it gives me 70 days in total ! with the holiday season ahead, it is going to be challenging. I’m deeply grateful to #HPE, my leadership, and everyone I got to build alongside. I’m proud of the impact we made: GitOps adoption, CI/CD automation, the Fort Collins Silvercreek validation lab, modularizing the codebase, and ultimately helping developers ship faster and safer. That chapter ends here, but my mission hasn’t changed. I am actively seeking roles in: Cloud Platform Engineering, Production Engineering, DevOps / Developer Productivity and SRE (Platform-focused) For Hiring Managers/Recruiters: • I specialize in turning complex infrastructure into repeatable, automated systems • GitOps, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS multi-account, EKS fleet operations • Strong focus on developer velocity, security posture, & blast-radius reduction H-1B clarification: I’m already on an H-1B visa - which means you do NOT have to pay the new $100K “H-1B fee.” That $100K fee applies only when filing a brand-new H-1B petition, not when transferring an existing H-1B. I am ready to relocate anywhere in the USA for now and also open to opportunities outside. I have a humble request to my #network: if you’re aware of any openings in your network or can introduce me to a hiring manager or recruiter who is currently hiring, it would genuinely mean the world to me. And if you don’t have a role to refer, even a quick comment or share can push this into the right feeds and make a real difference. Thank you to everyone who takes even 10 seconds to help. It’s hard, but I’m still fighting. Just One announcement could change everything. Time is tight, but we’ll get this. #opentowork #layoffs #hpe #amazon #wfr #cloud #devops #platform #cicd #sre #h1b #visa
