What I'm looking for

I'm looking to deliver secure, scalable, cost-optimized cloud and Kubernetes platforms, with ownership across infrastructure automation, GitOps delivery, observability, and DevSecOps practices.

I've delivered AWS DevOps consulting independently through Upwork, architecting scalable, secure, and cost-optimized infrastructure from requirements through production. I build repeatable infrastructure with Terraform and reduce release risk through Canary and Blue-Green deployments.

At Indeed, I configured Amazon EKS with Karpenter autoscaling and reduced AWS cloud costs by 40%. I managed GitLab and ArgoCD delivery workflows, secured secrets with HashiCorp Vault, automated Trivy scanning, and supported observability through Datadog and PagerDuty.

Across RKN Software Solutions, Simform, LOGICWIND, and Intellyzen Solutions, I've built Kubernetes platforms, DevSecOps pipelines, CI/CD automation, logging, and multi-cloud operations across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I'm an AWS Certified Solutions Architect with experience in Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Helm, Jenkins, GitOps, and cloud cost optimization.
