DevOps & Automation Engineer | CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, Python, Linux | 60% faster deploys | Seeking remote DevOps/SRE/Platform roles worldwide.
What I'm looking for
I’m a DevOps & Automation Engineer with 1+ year of hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines, Linux infrastructure, and Python automation frameworks at ESDS Software Solution. I’ve consistently focused on cutting friction in delivery by reducing deployment time by 60% and manual testing effort by 70% through automation.
At ESDS, I designed and implemented CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI/CD and Jenkins with automated quality gates, enabling continuous deployment for enterprise applications. I also built a Python-based REST API validation framework with PyTest covering 90+ endpoints, accelerating release cycles while improving release confidence.
I enjoy working close to infrastructure: I architected a custom RHEL/CentOS Linux distribution with automated Kickstart installation, RPM package management, and post-install validation—achieving a 60% reduction in deployment time. I’m now actively seeking remote DevOps / Platform Engineering roles where I can apply automation, debugging, and platform reliability to ship zero-defect releases.
