What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own AWS CI/CD and IaC end-to-end, run Kubernetes/container operations, and strengthen monitoring and security to improve reliability, automate operations, and reduce cloud costs.

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 6.5+ years of experience designing, automating, and managing scalable cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services. I focus on reliable, secure, high-availability architectures while improving system uptime and efficiency.

I’ve led incident management and root cause analysis for production systems on AWS, integrating security tools like SonarQube and Fortify into CI/CD pipelines to strengthen DevSecOps practices. I also build automation with Python to reduce manual operational effort across monitoring and alerting workflows.

Across my roles, I’ve implemented Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CloudFormation, and AWS CDK, and built CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline. I design event-driven architectures and serverless workflows using AWS services such as Lambda, SQS, SNS, and SES.

I bring strong container orchestration experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS ECS (including auto-scaling for performance and availability). I round out the stack with configuration management (Ansible), observability (Datadog, CloudWatch), and secure operations (IAM least-privilege and Vault secret management), along with mentoring and cross-functional collaboration to improve release quality.
