What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated DevOps professional with over 7 years of experience in designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native solutions, and automation strategies. My expertise lies in utilizing tools such as Kubernetes, Terraform, and various cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and AliCloud. I pride myself on being a strong collaborator, consistently optimizing deployment processes and enhancing cross-team integration.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led teams and projects at notable companies like Tesla and UtoPilot, where I developed innovative solutions that significantly improved operational efficiency. My commitment to continuous improvement is evident in my published article on DevOps best practices, which focuses on CI/CD pipeline optimization. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive business success and am always eager to tackle new challenges in the DevOps landscape.
