I am a seasoned Senior DevOps Engineer with a strong focus on implementing and managing cloud infrastructure that emphasizes scalability and reliability. Currently, I lead initiatives that automate build and deployment processes, significantly improving efficiency and reducing errors. My experience includes developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, which streamline the software release process, and implementing security best practices to protect sensitive data.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led teams in adopting modern methodologies and technologies, such as the 12-factor app methodology and Kubernetes. My leadership has resulted in optimized network designs and cost-effective migrations of mission-critical services to AWS.
