DevOps Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure and database reliability.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned DevOps Engineer with extensive experience in designing and implementing scalable cloud architectures. My expertise lies in PostgreSQL administration, Kubernetes orchestration, and cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure. I have a proven track record in database reliability engineering, optimizing PostgreSQL performance, and designing high-availability architectures while implementing CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, and ArgoCD.
As the founder of Less Than Three Tech, I have successfully led technical projects, managed a team of engineers, and worked with over 30 clients on cloud migrations and infrastructure automation. My focus on PostgreSQL scalability and reliability has enabled me to implement automated failover, replication, and query optimization, ensuring high performance and availability. I am passionate about fostering operational excellence through mentorship and cross-team collaboration, driving system reliability and operational efficiency in cloud-native environments.
