DevOps Engineer skilled in automation and cloud infrastructure.
NepalWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated DevOps Engineer with a passion for automating infrastructure and enhancing data reliability. Currently, I work at Revketer LLC, where I leverage Terraform and AWS to streamline CI/CD processes and build internal tools that improve data ETL. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to create systems that ensure data integrity, even when third-party systems present challenges.
Prior to my current role, I worked as a Backend & SysAdmin for news portals, where I maintained the technology for platforms with over 2 million monthly visitors. My efforts resulted in a remarkable 99.9% uptime and a significant reduction in vulnerabilities. I also optimized WordPress performance, achieving a 65% reduction in load times and a 40% improvement in SEO rankings. My technical projects, including a Nepali Grammatical Error Detection System, showcase my ability to merge machine learning with practical applications, achieving high accuracy rates and deploying effective solutions.
