@hardikshah1
Experienced Cloud Solution Architect with a focus on DevSecOps practices.
What I'm looking for
I am a young, energetic, and result-oriented IT professional with over 14 years of experience in Linux systems, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps practices. My expertise lies in orchestrating containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes, and I have a strong command of cloud services like AWS, infrastructure automation, and Git-Ops workflows with tools such as Argo CD. I thrive in problem-solving environments and excel under pressure, consistently delivering scalable, business-aligned technical solutions.
Throughout my career, I have designed and implemented secure and highly available AWS cloud infrastructures for various projects, including a communication platform and machine learning applications. My recent work involved architecting multi-region AWS EKS setups and automating CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Argo CD. I am committed to continuous learning and cross-functional collaboration, which has enabled me to lead teams effectively and drive successful project outcomes.
