What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on cloud-native engineering, security-first DevOps practices, and SRE responsibilities within collaborative Agile teams, with opportunities for impact, learning, and cost-optimized architecture.

I am an AWS DevOps Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience delivering DevOps, SRE, and cloud security solutions across Banking and Healthcare domains.

I design and implement CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and containerized deployments using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, and Kubernetes to reduce deployment time and increase reliability.

My work includes cloud migrations, monitoring and observability with CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana and ELK, and implementing security and compliance controls such as IAM, RBAC, data masking, and HIPAA safeguards.

I collaborate with cross-functional Agile teams to optimize cloud costs, improve MTTR, automate releases, and maintain audit readiness while supporting enterprise-scale digital transformations.
