What I'm looking for

I seek a DevOps/Cloud role focused on scalable CI/CD, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code at a collaborative, security-conscious team offering growth.

I am a DevOps Engineer with extensive experience building automated CI/CD pipelines, containerized microservices, and repeatable infrastructure using Terraform across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I have led efforts to containerize Spring Boot applications, implement zero-downtime deployments on Kubernetes, and integrate monitoring and security tools to maintain SLA compliance and reduce deployment errors.

I have a track record of optimizing costs and throughput by moving services to serverless architectures and event-driven processing, reducing release times and improving system reliability. I collaborate with cross-functional teams to document processes, onboard engineers, and introduce secure coding and automated testing practices that improve operational maturity and developer self-service.
