United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an AWS DevOps Engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience automating cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, and building secure, scalable CI/CD pipelines.
I have designed and implemented Terraform-based IaC, enterprise CI/CD with Jenkins/GitLab, and GitOps flows using ArgoCD, while migrating workloads to AWS EKS/ECR/RDS to improve availability and operational efficiency.
I specialize in Kubernetes (EKS/OpenShift/KOPS), Docker, Vault, Helm, monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana/ELK, and supporting GPU-accelerated workloads for distributed inference and high-performance compute.
I apply SRE practices (SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, incident management), harden Linux servers and cloud environments, and collaborate with NOC/Operations to reduce MTTR and optimize cost and reliability.
