What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth, particularly in cloud and DevOps environments.

I am a Kafka Administrator with over 8 years of experience in managing and optimizing Apache and Confluent Kafka environments. My expertise lies in setting up and automating Kafka clusters using tools like Ansible and GitLab CI/CD. I have a strong background in security configurations, including SSL and ACLs, ensuring high availability and reliability in production-grade environments.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and implemented real-time data pipelines, leveraging technologies such as Apache Flink for efficient stream processing. My role at NTT DATA has allowed me to integrate Kafka with various AWS services, enhancing data processing workflows and analytics capabilities. I am passionate about troubleshooting and continuously improving system performance, making me a valuable asset to any team.
