What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic DevOps and Kubernetes Senior Software Engineer with over 9 years of experience in multi-cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and GCP. My expertise lies in architecting self-hosted Kubernetes clusters, implementing GitOps workflows, and enforcing production-grade security. I have a proven track record in optimizing CI/CD pipelines and managing cloud costs while leading cloud-native transformations. My certifications in Kubernetes (CKA) and AWS Solutions Architect, along with advanced training in DevSecOps and serverless technologies, further bolster my capabilities.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led multiple zero-downtime Kubernetes version upgrades and designed multi-cloud architectures that significantly reduced API throttling incidents. I have developed full Azure DevOps pipelines that accelerated deployment cycles and enhanced security compliance across production clusters. My leadership experience includes managing a 7-member DevOps team, delivering projects on schedule, and fostering collaboration among team members.
