What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a DevOps role where I can automate deployments, build secure Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure with Terraform/IaC, and strengthen reliability through GitOps, CI/CD, monitoring, and strong security practices.

I’m a results-driven DevOps and Cloud Engineer with over 10 years of hands-on experience designing, building, and managing robust on-premise and cloud infrastructures. I specialize in Kubernetes orchestration, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), containerization (Docker), and modern CI/CD practices that keep high-availability production environments stable and secure.

In my roles, I automate deployments, implement GitOps workflows, and strengthen reliability through monitoring, logging, and alerting. I also enforce security best practices like secret management, network policies, and secure container orchestration, supporting scalable solutions across GCP, Hetzner, and hybrid setups while collaborating closely with development teams.
