What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated and proactive DevOps Engineer with over 5 years of experience in AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. My expertise lies in infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipeline design, container orchestration, and cloud cost optimization. I have a proven ability to streamline deployments, enforce security compliance, and mentor teams in adopting DevOps best practices within Agile environments, delivering scalable and reliable systems.

Throughout my career, I have engineered scalable infrastructures using Terraform and ARM templates, significantly reducing manual configurations and setup times. I have designed and managed CI/CD pipelines that improved deployment speeds across environments. My hands-on experience with monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana has enhanced system reliability and performance, while my leadership skills have allowed me to mentor junior engineers and foster a strong DevOps culture.

My technical expertise includes proficiency in Python, Bash, and PowerShell for automation, as well as extensive experience with SQL and NoSQL databases. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive efficiency and innovation, and I am committed to continuous learning and improvement in my field.
