What I'm looking for

I seek a senior DevOps/Cloud role focused on IaC, observability, and automation in a collaborative company that values reliability, continuous learning, and measurable impact.

I am a dynamic DevOps Engineer with over 10 years of experience optimizing Unix/Linux infrastructures across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. I specialize in infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker, Helm), and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, DataDog, ELK), with a track record of reducing deployment times, cutting cloud costs, and maintaining high system uptime.

I have led monitoring and observability initiatives for thousands of hosts and hundreds of containers, implemented CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps, and automated routine operations using SaltStack and Bash, delivering measurable improvements in deployment speed, incident resolution, and operational efficiency. I continuously pursue new technologies and best practices to drive reliability, security, and cost optimization for organizations.
