Senior DevOps Engineer specializing in cloud-native infrastructure automation.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with a robust track record in automating and managing wide-scale cloud-native infrastructure across various sectors, including fintech, healthcare, telecom, and SaaS. My expertise lies in Kubernetes orchestration and implementing efficient CI/CD pipelines utilizing Ansible and Terraform, which streamline deployment practices. I am committed to leveraging my advanced skills to support the development of secure, scalable systems that drive operational success and innovation.
At Medely, I contributed to the growth of an on-demand marketplace by engineering and maintaining scalable Kubernetes clusters and automating infrastructure provisioning. I designed resilient cloud architectures using AWS services, optimizing cost and performance while ensuring high availability. My leadership in optimizing cloud architectures has resulted in significant cost reductions and enhanced performance, with a strong emphasis on DevSecOps practices and observability.
Previously, at Fluz, I built and maintained production-grade Kubernetes Operators, enabling fully automated lifecycle management of databases. I led API design efforts and implemented CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, ensuring robust, production-ready features. My experience also includes architecting containerized microservices for payment systems at Cayan, where I enhanced payment security compliance and optimized transaction processing workflows.
