What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning in cloud infrastructure.

I am a results-driven DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with over 9 years of hands-on experience in designing, automating, and scaling secure cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and hybrid environments. My proven track record includes building and optimizing CI/CD pipelines, implementing Infrastructure as Code, and managing containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes. I am adept at enhancing system reliability, observability, and deployment velocity through modern DevOps and SRE practices.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to continuous improvement and automation, delivering robust, scalable infrastructure solutions. At Xatric Limo, I led the deployment of microservices using optimized CI/CD pipelines, achieving significant improvements in delivery pipeline efficiency. My experience at IET Consulting involved spearheading the creation of Infrastructure-as-Code, which drastically reduced provisioning time and improved security posture across hybrid cloud setups.

My technical expertise spans a wide range of tools and platforms, including Terraform, Jenkins, and AWS services. I thrive in fast-paced, high-availability engineering environments and am passionate about cross-functional collaboration to drive successful outcomes.
