What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own end-to-end delivery—CI/CD to production—using Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitOps. I want a culture that values observability, security-by-design (DevSecOps), and fast, reliable releases for real users.

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 3+ years building and operating production cloud infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes for high-traffic platforms in regulated industries like insurance and travel. I own the full path from commit to production, focusing on automation that keeps releases moving while reducing operational risk. In my current role, I’ve helped cut incident resolution time by 40% and maintained a 99.9% uptime SLA using layered observability across Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and CloudWatch.

I specialize in CI/CD automation with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps, and I deliver Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible to replace ad-hoc changes with version-controlled, peer-reviewed workflows. I also drive GitOps delivery via ArgoCD, including a reusable Helm chart library that cut new-service onboarding from days to under an hour through auto-sync and self-healing configs. I’m comfortable bridging dev, QA, and platform teams—turning deployment blockers into repeatable fixes—so teams can deploy multiple times per day without increased on-call load.
