What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps role where I can drive AWS infrastructure, Terraform and CI/CD automation, and improve Kubernetes deployments. I want a team that values reliability, strong troubleshooting, and measurable delivery-time improvements.

I’m a DevOps professional building reliable delivery pipelines and cloud infrastructure. In my recent role, I containerized a Play Framework application from scratch and implemented a GitLab CI/CD + Docker workflow that reduced deployment time and minimized errors.

I’ve also led migrations from RHEL to AlmaLinux and transferred infrastructure to a new data center with zero downtime, while administering and monitoring 70+ production servers. I’m equally comfortable implementing Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, running Kubernetes workloads on AWS (EKS), and containerizing applications with Docker, and I bring strong debugging and root-cause habits to networking and deployment issues.
