What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on DevOps/Cloud role where I can design scalable infrastructure, automate pipelines, improve reliability, and mentor teams in a collaborative, security-focused environment.

I am a Senior DevOps engineer with 8+ years of experience designing, implementing, and maintaining cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, Azure, GCP, and DigitalOcean. I focus on infrastructure-as-code, automation using Python and Bash, containerization with Docker and Kubernetes, and building robust CI/CD pipelines to accelerate reliable software delivery.

Throughout my career I have architected Terraform-based infrastructures, implemented GitLab/GitHub CI/CD, optimized production EKS environments, and integrated monitoring stacks like Grafana and Prometheus. I prioritize security, scalability, and performance, and I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot issues and deliver cost-efficient, resilient cloud solutions.
