What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build automated, observable, cost-efficient cloud platforms—owning Terraform/IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and SLO-driven operations on AWS/Azure and Kubernetes.

I’m a DevOps & Cloud Engineer with hands-on experience in AWS and Azure infrastructure, Kubernetes (EKS), Terraform, and CI/CD. I focus on automated, observable, and cost-efficient systems—turning reliability goals into practical alerting and measurable outcomes.

Recently, I led a migration from on-premises to Microsoft Azure for US operations, handling virtual machines, App Services, and Azure Backup with automated security policies. I also built foundational CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code workflows using Git, Docker, and Terraform, and administered Linux/Windows systems, Active Directory, and Microsoft 365 across internal and client environments.

As a Cloud & DevOps Freelancer, I deliver cloud infrastructure and deployment automation for international clients, including provisioning and operations for Azure, VPS, and managed hosting (Nginx, SSL, DNS), plus Python automation to streamline day-to-day work. In projects like production observability on AWS EKS and an AWS cost optimization audit, I’ve implemented SLO-based alerting and reduced spend (e.g., NAT gateway removal and gp2→gp3) without performance impact.
