What I'm looking for

I seek roles focusing on cloud infrastructure automation, DevSecOps, and reliable CI/CD delivery in collaborative teams that prioritize security, scalability, and learning opportunities.

I am a DevOps-focused Software Engineering undergraduate specializing in AWS security automation, containerized applications, and CI/CD workflows. I design and deploy reproducible infrastructure with Terraform and build automated, event-driven security pipelines that reduce incident response time.

I have hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Linux automation, IAM security, and serverless architectures, and I implement Principle of Least Privilege and NIST-aligned incident response logic. My projects include an automated log-based threat detection and IP remediation pipeline and a containerized interactive resume web app.

I collaborate well in team environments, automate operational tasks with Bash and Python, and prioritize secure, scalable, and reliable cloud systems that streamline deployments and improve incident handling.
