What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role focused on Kubernetes, CI/CD and cloud automation where I can drive SRE practices, optimize costs, and grow technical leadership.

I am a motivated DevOps engineer with three years of industry practice, specializing in CI/CD automation, configuration management, and Kubernetes. I focus on building reliable deployment pipelines and optimizing production processes to improve efficiency.

I have delivered measurable results including a 20% reduction in AWS costs, a 2x acceleration of frontend build pipelines, and implementations of Kafka + ClickHouse for data analysis. I migrated infrastructure deployments from Terraform to Terragrunt, automated dev environment provisioning on Kubernetes, and introduced SRE practices and automation across teams.

I am a quick, eager learner who continuously masters new tools and approaches—Ansible, Puppet, Docker, ArgoCD, Helm, and HashiCorp Vault among them—and I enjoy collaborating with teams to improve observability, reliability, and deployment velocity.
