DevOps Engineer specializing in scalable CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and container orchestration.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
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.
