What I'm looking for

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

I am a seasoned DevOps/Cloud Engineer with over 13 years of experience in designing, implementing, and automating cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines. My expertise lies in AWS and Kubernetes, where I have specialized in automating, scaling, and managing cloud environments. I am committed to enhancing system reliability, scalability, and security, while fostering innovation and efficiency in cloud-native settings.

Throughout my career, I have built and maintained CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and AWS CodePipeline. My strong networking background complements my technical skills, allowing me to effectively manage infrastructure as code using Terraform and CloudFormation. I have a proven track record of delivering serverless applications and integrating secure APIs, which has significantly improved operational efficiency for my teams.

I take pride in mentoring others and sharing my knowledge, particularly in Kubernetes and EKS, through live labs and technical enablement sessions. My goal is to continue driving innovation in cloud technologies while supporting teams in achieving their objectives.
