What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can build secure DevSecOps pipelines and automate AWS + Kubernetes infrastructure, deliver reliable CI/CD, and grow in a learning-friendly environment—while mentoring and sharing knowledge with others.

I’m driven by a “genuine yearning for knowledge” in Information Technology—especially Computer Systems, IT Security, and DevOps culture. I aim to use and improve my skills in a learning-friendly environment while building a career that lets me “give back to the community” by sharing what I’ve learned.

With 6 years and ongoing experience, I’ve worked as a DevOps Engineer II and Senior DevOps Engineer, maintaining Kubernetes workloads and AWS EKS clusters, using Infrastructure as Code with AWS CloudFormation, and delivering CI/CD through Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI. I’ve also implemented security-focused workflows (DevSecOps), containerized AI/ML applications, and improved reliability with monitoring/logging and incident-response practices.

I bring broad platform depth from earlier systems engineering and enterprise support—Linux/Windows administration, databases, and infrastructure monitoring (Zabbix/Grafana). Right now, I’m also a Parttime Lecturer and Module Leader, covering DevSecOps, Software Engineering, and Enterprise Security and Operations to strengthen my teaching-and-automation mindset.
