What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster collaboration and innovation in cloud technologies.

I am a proactive and results-oriented DevOps Engineer with over 8 years of experience in designing, implementing, and optimizing cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines. My expertise lies in leveraging AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, and various automation tools to achieve high availability, scalability, and cost efficiency. I have a proven track record of enhancing security and compliance with industry standards like ISO 27001, showcasing my commitment to operational excellence.

In my current role at SystemOne, I successfully designed and implemented Terraform-based pipelines that automated the provisioning of environments, leading to a significant reduction in AWS costs by 28% within six months. My efforts in optimizing cloud infrastructure have resulted in improved scalability and fault tolerance, while my implementation of a monitoring system with Prometheus and Grafana has ensured the reliability of our services. I am passionate about driving efficiency and productivity within teams, as demonstrated by my development of on-demand application deployment pipelines.
