What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead DevSecOps-driven cloud engineering—automation with Terraform/Kubernetes, CI/CD and observability—to deliver secure, cost-optimized, highly available systems with fast deployments and strong governance.

I’m a Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 3+ years of IT experience delivering secure, scalable, automated infrastructure. I specialize in DevSecOps maturity, CI/CD automation, and robust observability—focused on high availability across diverse cloud environments, with AWS as my primary platform.

In my DevOps Engineer role, I designed high-availability architectures using RDS Multi-AZ and S3 cross-region replication, boosting availability by 40%. I reduced AWS monthly burn by 30% through automated right-sizing and Spot Instance migration with Terraform, and accelerated delivery by 60% by building CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins that cut deployment time and time-to-market.

I also harden environments by implementing IAM Least Privilege and KMS encryption, reducing attack surface by 40%, and I eliminate configuration drift via immutable infrastructure with Terraform and CloudFormation—cutting manual provisioning by 70%. My project work deepens this approach with separated CI/CD and continuous security testing (OWASP, SonarQube, Trivy), GitOps delivery with ArgoCD for environment consistency, and EKS monitoring using Prometheus and Grafana for faster incident recovery.
