What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role where I can leverage my Cloud and DevOps expertise to drive innovation and efficiency, while working in a collaborative and growth-oriented environment.

I am a seasoned Cloud & DevOps Engineer with over 6 years of experience in automating high-availability infrastructures on AWS and Azure. My expertise lies in architecting systems and driving MLOps and DevSecOps adoption. I have a proven track record of leading the design of scalable systems, improving development processes, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to achieve technical excellence and meet project goals.

In my current role as Lead DevOps Engineer for the Ethiopian Labor Market Information System, I lead a team of five, overseeing the architectural design and implementation of a hybrid cloud infrastructure. My efforts have resulted in a 50% increase in deployment frequency and a significant reduction in manual errors through the establishment of GitOps workflows. I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance operational efficiency and ensure system reliability.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on integrating security best practices into CI/CD pipelines and have successfully implemented monitoring solutions that provide full system observability. I am committed to continuous learning and staying updated with the latest industry trends, which enables me to deliver innovative solutions that drive business success.
