What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in cloud technologies.

I am a highly accomplished DevOps Engineer with over 12 years of experience in automating, optimizing, and securing mission-critical deployments across large-scale cloud infrastructures. My expertise lies in designing CI/CD pipelines, implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and enhancing monitoring systems. I have a proven track record of driving operational efficiency using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, Ansible, Docker, and Kubernetes, and I am well-versed in cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed scalable infrastructure for various sectors, including fintech, MedTech, e-commerce, and cybersecurity. My role as a Principal DevOps Engineer at Duolingo has allowed me to lead initiatives that support over 50 million users, where I introduced cost-optimization policies that saved approximately $2 million annually. I am passionate about cloud security, cost optimization, and performance monitoring, and I continuously strive to enhance operational efficiency in every project I undertake.
