What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning, where I can leverage my DevOps skills to drive efficiency and security.

I am an experienced and results-driven DevOps Engineer with over 4 years of expertise in deploying, automating, and optimizing secure, scalable systems in cloud-native environments. My journey has been marked by proven success in managing Alibaba Cloud and AWS infrastructures, utilizing tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, and GitOps practices like ArgoCD. I have a strong foundation in Kubernetes, Helm Charts, and Docker-based microservices, which has allowed me to enhance application scalability and reliability.

Throughout my career, I have led significant projects that have reduced provisioning times and improved client satisfaction. My role at Alibaba Cloud involved developing reusable Terraform modules and building CI/CD pipelines that accelerated release times by 40%. I am passionate about driving DevOps excellence and have delivered knowledge-sharing sessions to empower client engineering teams. My commitment to security and compliance is reflected in my work designing cloud architectures that adhere to SOC 2 and HIPAA standards.
