What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on DevOps/Cloud role where I can lead CI/CD and infrastructure automation, improve reliability, and drive platform scalability in a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a Senior DevOps and Build & Release Engineer with over 8.6 years of IT experience designing, automating, and operating CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and containerized deployments. I have led Azure DevOps and Jenkins implementations, migrated repositories and pipelines, created helm charts and AKS clusters, and built AI/ML and chatbot deployment pipelines using OpenAI, LangChain, and Hugging Face.

I bring hands-on expertise across AWS, Azure, GCP, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Chef, Git, JFrog Artifactory, and monitoring tools like Datadog and ELK. I focus on reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure, end-to-end automation for Java/.NET/NodeJS applications, and improving developer productivity through robust build, release, and observability practices.
