What I'm looking for

I am looking for a senior remote DevOps role to enhance operational efficiencies and drive cloud innovation.

I am a DevOps Engineer with over five years of experience in engineering cloud infrastructure solutions and implementing CI/CD pipelines. My work has significantly reduced deployment times and costs, with a notable 40% reduction in application costs through containerization initiatives. I have a proven track record of mentoring teams and establishing robust monitoring solutions that enhance operational efficiency.

At P.I Consulting, I revolutionized deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions, achieving deployment times of under five minutes. I led a remote AWS cost optimization project that resulted in a 35% savings while maintaining performance. My passion for automation and process improvement has consistently driven my success in resolving complex technical challenges.
