What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated DevOps Engineer with over 3 years of experience in leveraging automation tools to enhance infrastructure provisioning, deployment, and monitoring in cloud environments. My journey has been marked by a commitment to maintaining code quality and ensuring compliance through the integration of security and policy checks into automated workflows.

At Perfect IT Solutions, I significantly boosted deployment speed and system reliability by building secure and scalable CI/CD pipelines. My efforts in containerizing legacy applications with Docker and orchestrating deployments via AWS ECS resulted in a remarkable 90% improvement in deployment reliability. I am passionate about using technology to solve complex problems and streamline processes, as evidenced by my automation of configuration and environment validation, saving my team over 20 hours each month.

My experience at RichTech further honed my skills in implementing GitOps workflows and deploying scalable services on AWS EKS, which improved performance under load by 40%. I am always eager to learn and grow, continuously seeking opportunities to enhance my technical skills and contribute to innovative projects.
