What I'm looking for
With over five years of experience as a DevOps Engineer, I have honed my skills in cloud technologies and automation, consistently exceeding user expectations. My journey has taken me through various roles where I have led significant projects, including migrating databases to AWS and architecting scalable solutions for high-traffic applications. My ability to adapt to the fast-paced changes in technology has allowed me to deliver extraordinary results, making me a valuable asset to any team.
At the Federal Reserve Bank, I spearheaded a project to migrate on-premise databases to AWS, utilizing Terraform and Docker to create a seamless transition. My previous roles at NBC Universal and Horizen Labs further solidified my expertise in managing complex cloud environments and implementing CI/CD pipelines. I am passionate about leveraging my technical skills to drive innovation and improve operational efficiency in the organizations I work with.
