What I'm looking for

I seek a senior DevOps/Cloud role where I can lead automation, optimize costs, and build scalable, secure infrastructure within collaborative teams that value engineering practices and mentoring.

I am a results-driven Cloud and DevOps engineer with over 10 years of experience building and optimizing cloud infrastructure across Azure, AWS and GCP.

I specialize in CI/CD automation, containerization, and infrastructure as code using Terraform, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Docker, and Kubernetes. I led a full migration from Azure Bicep to Terraform and designed reusable Terraform modules to standardize deployments and improve provisioning efficiency.

I focus on security, monitoring, and cost optimization — automating AWS Lambda/EventBridge routines to manage dev instances and integrating CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Prometheus, and Grafana for observability. I automate pipelines with Git, Maven, and JFrog, and enforce code quality using SonarQube and Snyk.

I look to apply my experience driving automation, improving reliability, and delivering scalable, secure cloud platforms while mentoring teams and advancing infrastructure-as-code maturity.
