What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in a DevOps role, using automation and CI/CD to improve scalability, efficiency, and security. I want hands-on work with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud environments while continuing to deliver reliable network and infrastructure operations.

I’m a networking professional with experience in infrastructure administration and configuration, and a strong understanding of network protocols, security, and process automation. I’ve worked across NOC and customer network operations, monitoring, troubleshooting, and supporting critical telecom and server environments.

I developed Python automation to mass-configure and streamline network-device processes, improving operational efficiency and reducing deployment time. I also led capacity expansion projects and executed network equipment migrations—migrating obsolete routers and switches to new platforms to ensure continuity and technological upgrades.

Today, I’m transitioning into a DevOps role at Altice DO, expanding my skills in infrastructure performance, security, and automation for cloud-critical applications. I’m implementing Linux virtual servers and building toward CI/CD and continuous deployment practices using Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, Python, and Git.

I’m reinforcing this foundation through DevOps and cloud learning (KodeKloud and AWS), plus practical projects like SQL/MySQL-driven automation and a 12 Factor App backend for DHCP server monitoring. I bring an implementation-focused mindset grounded in leadership, responsibility, teamwork, problem solving, and honesty.
