What I'm looking for

I am seeking a Cloud/DevOps role where I can design and automate cloud-native infrastructure, improve CI/CD and reliability, work in collaborative teams, and grow into advanced cloud architecture responsibilities.

I am a Cloud and DevOps Engineer who designs, deploys, and manages cloud-native, containerized infrastructures using Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift to ensure high availability and resilience.

I automate infrastructure and deployments with Terraform and Ansible, build CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Git, and monitor systems with Prometheus, Grafana and Zabbix to proactively detect and resolve issues while improving performance.

Earlier roles in data engineering and IT support strengthened my database, networking, and scripting skills; I hold AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and KCNA certifications and am pursuing AWS Solutions Architect to deepen my cloud architecture expertise.
