What I'm looking for

I want to build secure, reliable cloud platforms with automation-first CI/CD, Kubernetes, and strong monitoring. I’m excited to streamline workflows, improve uptime, and collaborate closely with development teams to deliver efficient, high-impact outcomes.

I am a DevOps Engineer with over 7 years of experience building and optimizing scalable cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines. I focus on delivering secure, reliable, and efficient solutions that streamline development workflows and improve system performance.

I design and implement cloud infrastructure using AWS and Azure, ensuring high availability and cost efficiency. I automate infrastructure provisioning and management with Terraform and Ansible, and I build CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and AWS CodePipeline (plus Azure DevOps Pipelines and GitLab CI/CD).

I also specialize in containerization and orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes to improve scalability and resource utilization. I strengthen operations with monitoring and logging tools like Prometheus, Grafana, AWS CloudWatch, and the ELK stack, while applying security best practices such as IAM, Secrets Manager, GuardDuty, and incident-ready workflows.
