What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in automation and cloud infrastructure, with opportunities for growth and innovation.

With over a decade of experience in DevOps, I have been at the forefront of building robust CI/CD pipelines and automating infrastructure long before the term 'DevOps' became mainstream. My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of cloud platforms, containerization, and infrastructure as code, allowing me to lead successful migrations to AWS that not only enhanced system performance but also significantly reduced costs.

At TechNova Systems, I designed and implemented end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for a microservice-heavy application, ensuring seamless deployments without outages. My expertise in tools like Jenkins, Terraform, and Kubernetes has enabled me to create scalable and observable systems that meet the demands of modern applications. I thrive on challenges and am passionate about writing clean, efficient code that minimizes manual errors and maximizes system reliability.
