What I'm looking for

I seek DevOps/Cloud roles where I can build automated, resilient CI/CD and infrastructure, collaborate cross-functionally, and reduce manual work while growing in cloud architecture.

I am a DevOps and Cloud Engineer with an 8+ year background in Quality Assurance, bringing rigor, repeatability, and process improvement to cloud-native systems. I have hands-on experience with OCI, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and workflow automation tools like n8n, and I build resilient CI/CD pipelines and multi-service deployments.

My recent achievements include developing a one-button OCI CI/CD pipeline with secure WireGuard access, automating provisioning for Kubernetes services, and integrating RAG chatbot automation using OpenAI/Gemini and Supabase. I consistently focus on reducing manual effort, improving release reliability, and bridging gaps between development and operations.
