What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps/Platform role where I can build AWS/Azure cloud-native infrastructure with Terraform, automate CI/CD to Kubernetes/ECS, and deliver observability and security-left practices for microservices.

I’m a DevOps / Platform Engineer with 3+ years building cloud-native infrastructure on AWS and Azure, specializing in Amazon ECS (EC2 for test, Fargate for production) and EKS, and working confidently across managed and self-hosted Kubernetes like K3s and AKS. I build for scale, reliability, and security, pairing clean infrastructure design with production-ready delivery automation.

In my current role, I engineered a multi-product AWS platform supporting 30+ microservices across test and production, authored 10+ reusable Terraform modules (ECS, ECR, S3, SQS, SNS, RDS, VPC, ALB, CloudFront, IRSA), and reduced onboarding time from days to hours. I also designed end-to-end GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines with container build-to-deploy automation, including blue/green deployments to ECS with service stability checks.

I’ve delivered observability and resilience too—on Azure I implemented Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Promtail, cAdvisor, and Node Exporter for real-time metrics and log aggregation, and I operated a Python/FastAPI-based AI service inside the platform architecture. Earlier, I built multi-environment Kubernetes infrastructure using K3s for development and AKS for production, using Helm atomic releases, Traefik HTTPS enforcement, cert-manager with Let’s Encrypt, and autoscaling to keep workloads healthy under changing traffic.
