What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth, focusing on cloud automation and DevOps practices.

I am a results-driven DevOps Engineer with over 5 years of experience specializing in CI/CD pipeline development, cloud automation, and infrastructure management across major cloud platforms including Azure, AWS, and GCP. My expertise lies in utilizing Azure DevOps Pipelines, scripting with PowerShell and Bash, and container orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes. I have a strong background in Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and CloudFormation, ensuring high availability and security in cloud environments.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed cloud infrastructure and automated deployments, achieving significant reductions in manual errors and optimizing costs. My role at Johnson Bank involved implementing AWS services to ensure 99.99% uptime and streamlining microservices architecture with AWS Lambda. At American Family Insurance, I developed CI/CD pipelines that reduced deployment time by 40%, enhancing the overall development workflow. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive efficiency and innovation in cloud-based solutions.
