What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps/Cloud role where I can build and automate production infrastructure—Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD—while improving observability and security. I want mentorship, real ownership, and measurable reliability gains.

I bring 17+ years of experience in technical support and infrastructure, and I’m actively transitioning into Cloud and DevOps engineering. I combine hands-on automation with practical operations experience, so deployments don’t just work—they stay stable.

In my current role, I’ve built real infrastructure and delivery pipelines: deploying Cal.com on an Azure VM with Docker and GitHub Actions CI/CD, and serving live traffic for internal infrastructure modernization. I’ve also authored Terraform to migrate on-premises physical infrastructure to the cloud, reducing manual deployment overhead.

I’ve deployed high-availability Drupal using Terraform and Ansible, paired with observability and security tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK Stack, Vault, Sealed Secrets, and OPA). I’m comfortable working across Kubernetes ecosystems with tools like Helm, ArgoCD, Gatekeeper, Falco, Chaos Mesh, Velero, and MinIO.

Beyond day-to-day delivery, I complete structured learning through the Bincom Academy DevOps programme, strengthening my skills in containerisation, CI/CD, automation, and cloud deployment. I hold AWS, Azure, Terraform, Security, Network, and Linux certifications, and I aim to keep improving reliability, visibility, and operational efficiency.
