What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role focused on cloud-native infrastructure, CI/CD automation, and GitOps where I can build resilient systems, improve reliability, and grow into broader platform responsibilities.

I am a results-driven DevOps engineer with hands-on experience automating software delivery pipelines and managing cloud-native infrastructure using Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform on AWS. I design CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, Jenkins and ArgoCD and apply GitOps and IaC principles.

I have delivered measurable improvements: reduced deployment time by 40%, cut manual provisioning effort by 70% with Terraform, improved MTTR by 50% through centralized monitoring, and reduced build failures by 35% via CI/CD optimization. I focus on resilient, secure, high-performing cloud environments.

My practical experience includes an internship where I designed pipelines, managed Kubernetes clusters, and deployed applications to AWS environments, plus volunteer field work supporting large-scale data collection and operations. I collaborate closely with developers to improve release frequency and reliability.

I bring a pragmatic, learning-oriented approach, a passion for automation and observability, and a commitment to industry best practices. I hold cloud certification and rapidly adopt tools that increase developer productivity and infrastructure consistency.
