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 DevOps Engineer with extensive experience in cloud infrastructure and automation, particularly with Amazon Web Services (AWS). My expertise lies in streamlining CI/CD processes, enhancing observability, and implementing infrastructure-as-code using tools like Terraform and Kubernetes. I have successfully managed multiple projects, ensuring secure and cost-optimized infrastructure while integrating AI-driven solutions to accelerate deployment cycles.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including DevOps Manager and Lead, where I was responsible for end-to-end infrastructure management, deployment pipelines, and automation. My achievements include significant cost reductions and improved operational efficiencies across various organizations. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about leveraging technology to empower teams and drive innovation.
