What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in cloud engineering and DevOps.

I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with over 10 years of experience in designing, automating, and scaling resilient cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. My specialization lies in platform reliability, site resilience, and infrastructure automation using Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitOps principles. I have a proven track record of building secure, cost-effective, and scalable CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitLab, Jenkins, and ArgoCD.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to aligning DevOps strategies with business goals and security standards. I leverage infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and observability tooling to enhance operational efficiency and improve software delivery performance. My experience includes scripting with Python, Bash, and Go to build internal tooling that accelerates developer productivity. I thrive in collaborative environments, working with cross-functional teams to drive innovation and improve service reliability.
