What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and innovation, with opportunities for growth.

I am a highly skilled DevOps Engineer with over 7 years of progressive experience in automating infrastructure and optimizing cloud operations. My expertise lies in designing resilient CI/CD pipelines across AWS and Azure environments, where I have successfully deployed microservice architectures and containerized applications using Kubernetes and Docker. I am passionate about driving cost-efficient infrastructure strategies and have a proven track record of collaborating with development, QA, and security teams to enhance the reliability of mission-critical platforms.

Throughout my career, I have managed GitOps workflows, implemented Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and enforced cloud security policies. My experience includes developing modular Terraform templates and AWS CloudFormation stacks, which have significantly reduced manual setup time. I take pride in my ability to monitor large-scale distributed systems, achieving high availability and early alerting of potential issues. I am committed to continuous improvement and leveraging my skills to contribute to innovative projects.
