What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

I am a dedicated and certified Linux professional with extensive experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Software Engineering, and Systems Administration. My career has been marked by a commitment to delivering business value through innovative cloud solutions and automation. Currently, I serve as a Senior Cloud Architect at Navitas Tech, where I lead infrastructure automation for cloud-native applications and enhance operational efficiency through containerized deployments.

Throughout my career, I have spearheaded numerous projects that have significantly improved system reliability and security. My expertise in tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, and various cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) has allowed me to implement robust CI/CD pipelines and streamline deployment processes. I take pride in my ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive successful outcomes and ensure seamless operations.

With a strong foundation in both technical and leadership roles, I am passionate about leveraging my skills to tackle complex challenges and contribute to innovative solutions in the tech industry. I am currently pursuing my MSCS at Georgia Tech, continuously seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and expertise.
