Results-driven DevOps Engineer specializing in cloud-native environments.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven DevOps Engineer with a strong expertise in building and securing cloud-native environments across AWS and Azure. My specialization in infrastructure as code (IaC), CI/CD automation, and cloud security has enabled me to architect secure cloud migrations and optimize application performance effectively. I have a proven track record of implementing automated security frameworks to ensure continuous compliance, leveraging my strong foundation in NIST controls and CIS benchmarks.
Throughout my career, I have directed significant migration initiatives, such as shifting VMware on-premises servers to AWS and migrating CI/CD infrastructure from AWS CodePipeline to Jenkins. My experience includes designing custom Datadog dashboards to monitor application metrics, conducting comprehensive security assessments, and developing solutions that enhance infrastructure scalability. I am passionate about automation, efficiency, and cloud innovation, and I thrive in fast-paced, DevOps-driven environments.
