What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can build and automate scalable, secure cloud platforms, improve observability, and mentor teams while using IaC, Kubernetes, and CI/CD to drive operational excellence.

I am a Cloud DevOps and Platform Engineer with over five years of experience building, automating, and operating enterprise-grade cloud and on-prem Kubernetes platforms. I design and deploy clusters from scratch, implement IaC with Pulumi and Terraform, and automate workflows using Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and GitLab CI.

My work emphasizes reliability, observability and security: I have deployed Prometheus/Kube-Prometheus Stack, Grafana Loki, Tempo and Grafana Cloud for monitoring and tracing, implemented Longhorn and AWS S3 storage drivers, and applied Kyverno and RBAC controls. I contributed to platform automation including Ansible-driven server provisioning and Oracle DB snapshot pipelines.

I hold Kubernetes and Red Hat certifications and seek to help companies enhance cloud capabilities through efficient collaboration, agile practices, and pragmatic automation to achieve seamless cloud integration and higher team productivity.
