DevOps Engineer with 7+ years building secure, scalable cloud infrastructure and CI/CD.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven DevOps Engineer with 7+ years of experience in Cloud Infrastructure, Automation, Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, and Azure. I’m passionate about scalability, security, and high availability in cloud environments, and I bring hands-on expertise in designing robust cloud architectures.
In my recent role as Sr. DevOps Engineer, I automate infrastructure provisioning with Terraform and CloudFormation and implement configuration management with Ansible. I deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters and design highly available CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI and ArgoCD, improving deployment efficiency end to end.
I also build reliable observability foundations—establishing monitoring and logging with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Promtail. I work closely with development teams to identify and resolve infrastructure bottlenecks, enhancing application performance and operational stability.
Across AWS and Azure projects, I’ve managed multi-account and multi-region architectures with Terraform/Terragrunt, implemented ECS orchestration and disaster recovery strategies, and supported secure operations with tools like WAF, Wazuh, and HashiCorp Vault for centralized secrets management. My AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate background reflects my focus on pragmatic, production-ready cloud delivery.
