I’m a Cloud DevOps Engineer automating secure AWS/Azure infrastructure with GitOps and IaC.
What I'm looking for
I’m an accomplished Cloud DevOps Engineer with over 10 years of IT experience and a Master of Engineering, specializing in automating complex infrastructures across AWS and Azure. I focus on GitOps (ArgoCD) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to drive faster deployments, reduce risk, and optimize cost. I also prioritize enterprise workload security by eliminating static credentials and hardening resiliency.
At Darey.io (Remote), I led a full-scale Azure (AKS) to AWS (EKS) migration—including 10+ microservices, networking, and stateful Kafka clusters—in just 14 days, reducing the projected timeline by 80%. I migrated 10+ microservices to GitOps using ArgoCD, improving deployment speed by 30% and reducing rollback time by 50%.
I designed and deployed secure EKS & AKS clusters using GitOps automation with ArgoCD and FluxCD. I implemented IRSA (AWS) and Managed Identity (Azure) to eliminate all static credentials across workloads, and I built and maintained a production-grade 3-broker Kafka cluster supporting microservices applications. I develop end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps, and I automate provisioning with Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible.
Previously, as a Cloud DevOps Engineer at Darey.io (Remote), I automated infrastructure provisioning with Terraform and Packer, cutting deployment time by 30% and ensuring consistent environments. I improved monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, implemented CI/CD with Jenkins to reduce release cycle time by 40%, and orchestrated containerized applications in Kubernetes for scalability. Earlier in my career at Smile Communications Ltd., I led enterprise technical support and used Bash automation to reduce resolution time by 25%, which sharpened my troubleshooting and root-cause mindset.
