What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a motivated and technically adept DevOps and Cloud Engineer with over 4 years of experience in architecting, automating, and optimizing mission-critical deployments on Amazon Web Services (AWS). My strong background in infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform, combined with advanced skills in containerization, CI/CD pipeline automation, and monitoring, has allowed me to design resilient cloud environments that accelerate software delivery and improve security posture.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated success in implementing DevOps best practices that reduce operational overhead. I have a proven track record of fostering collaboration across development, operations, and QA teams within Agile/Scrum environments. My key achievements include reducing infrastructure provisioning time by 70% and improving deployment frequency by 3x through automation and CI/CD enhancements.
