## About

```text
At Amdocs, I own CI/CD and production deployments for OneMediation across four AKS clusters and eight environments. I provision Azure infrastructure with Terraform and built Python health-monitoring and self-healing automation that cut incident recovery time from two hours to five minutes.

I also automated NIST/CVSS-based vulnerability prioritization, reducing triage time by 50%, and created cost reports that helped the team identify about 15% in cloud savings. My work includes Kubernetes incident response, Kafka tuning, and security controls using Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud, Entra ID, and RBAC.
