I am an experienced Infrastructure and DevOps Engineer with a robust background in designing, architecting, and automating IT operations at scale. My expertise lies in managing large-scale Kubernetes and AWS cloud environments, ensuring high availability, security, and performance. I have a proven track record in Kubernetes (EKS, k3s), AWS cloud management, and Golang development, coupled with a deep understanding of cloud-native architecture, infrastructure as code, and system reliability engineering.
Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and installed cloud-based microservices, automated deployment pipelines, and scalable infrastructure solutions for high-performance computing environments. My extensive experience with Unix-based operating systems has allowed me to manage environments with bare-metal servers, virtual machines, and containers across enterprise-scale infrastructures. I am passionate about mentoring junior engineers and fostering a collaborative team environment.
