What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps/Cloud role where I can automate infrastructure with Terraform, build reliable CI/CD, and strengthen system security and InfoSec compliance in agile teams.

I’m an IT infrastructure and DevOps professional with 3+ years of experience designing, operating, and securing IT environments for enterprises and SMEs. I bring practical strengths in Azure/AWS cloud, system administration, and Infrastructure as Code to make environments reliable, repeatable, and compliant.

In cloud and infrastructure roles, I lead and support initiatives across clusters, contributing to AWS-based solutions and Terraform-driven deployments. I also support API management and integration work, while applying agile practices (Jira) and ensuring alignment with InfoSec standards.

Previously, I designed and managed Linux-heavy virtualized environments with Proxmox and VMware ESXi, focusing on high availability and automation. I built CI/CD pipelines using Docker, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps, and I strengthened production support through Linux administration, system hardening, and web server optimization (NGINX/Apache).

I also invest in capability-building through training, delivering professional courses in Red Hat and Ubuntu, and coordinating DevOps programs covering Docker, Git/GitHub/GitLab, CI/CD, and web servers. Across projects, I’ve contributed to monitoring and integrations (e.g., Zabbix), enterprise app support (e.g., Odoo and N1/N2 support), migrations, and security work such as MFA implementation and InfoSec compliance initiatives.
