## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to apply AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD practices to build secure, scalable systems in a collaborative environment where I can continue learning and contribute across teams.
```

## About

```text
I've automated AWS infrastructure with Terraform, reducing manual setup effort by 70% through reproducible three-tier deployments.

I design secure VPC architectures, configure ALBs, Route 53, Auto Scaling, private RDS, and ACM-backed HTTPS to support scalable, fault-tolerant applications.

I've built Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for containerized Java applications, integrating GitHub, Maven, SonarQube, Trivy, Docker, and Kubernetes to reduce manual release effort by 80%.

Alongside my Cloud and DevOps projects, I bring QA and technical support experience from Cognizant Technology Solutions and HP India, where I worked across Agile teams, testing, defect tracking, and enterprise customer support.
