What I'm looking for

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

I am an AWS DevOps/Cloud Engineer with extensive experience in managing resources through Kubernetes and deploying containerized applications effectively. My expertise in implementing blue-green deployment strategies has significantly minimized downtime and risk, while my proficiency with Canary Releases allows for careful evaluation of new versions in production environments. I have successfully reduced infrastructure costs by 30% utilizing spot and reserved instances and maintained a 99.99% uptime for multi-tier architectures by automating deployment and scaling operations.

My role encompasses enhancing release frequencies through robust CI/CD pipelines and architecting various environments within AWS, all while implementing stringent security practices. My background in technical support enriches my ability to troubleshoot, guide, and train with a focus on customer satisfaction and operational excellence. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive efficiency and innovation in cloud engineering.
