What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

As a Certified AWS Solutions Architect Associate and DevOps Engineer, I bring over six years of IT expertise in designing CI/CD pipelines, automating cloud infrastructure, and enhancing security across AWS and Azure platforms. My journey has been marked by a commitment to optimizing performance and reliability while fostering collaboration and innovation within teams. I have successfully automated server provisioning using Terraform and deployed scalable infrastructures with Nagios, demonstrating my ability to adapt to evolving project needs.

My experience includes leveraging containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes to enhance application scalability, as well as establishing robust CI/CD workflows utilizing Jenkins and GitHub. I have developed automation scripts that streamline tasks and implemented monitoring solutions with Cloud Watch, ELK Stack, and Prometheus. My focus on security encompasses IAM, Guard Duty, and periodic vulnerability assessments, ensuring that best practices are applied across all projects. I am passionate about architecting enterprise-scale data lakes and driving results through strategic problem-solving.
