What I'm looking for

I seek DevOps/cloud roles where I can build reliable, automated, and secure cloud platforms, mentor teams, and drive CI/CD and IaC adoption.

I am a versatile IT professional with over five years of experience in software development, DevOps, and cloud computing. I excel at architecting practical, user-friendly solutions and managing cloud environments with a strong focus on reliability and automation.

My hands-on experience includes managing SDN in GCP, deploying common cloud services, and using Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform and CloudFormation. I have led teams, improved deployment workflows, and driven measurable uptime and quality improvements for SaaS platforms.

I have implemented CI/CD pipelines, automated infrastructure provisioning, and maintained large fleets of Unix servers while slashing incident rates and speeding delivery through version-control and process changes. I combine system administration, containerization, and networking skills to deliver resilient production systems.

I communicate technical concepts clearly across stakeholders and contribute in agile teams to deliver projects on time and within budget. I am motivated to continue building reliable cloud-native solutions and mentor teams in DevOps best practices.
