What I'm looking for

I seek roles building secure, scalable cloud-native infrastructure and CI/CD platforms with a focus on GitOps, automation, and measurable reliability improvements.

I am a results-driven Backend and DevOps engineer with hands-on production experience designing cloud-native microservices, CI/CD pipelines, and AI automation systems. I specialize in Python and FastAPI, and I build secure, observable platforms on AWS using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform.

In recent roles and projects I implemented GitHub Actions pipelines with ArgoCD-based GitOps and Canary deployments on AWS EKS, reducing deployment failures and enabling automated rollback via Prometheus alerts. I have integrated FastAPI services with PostgreSQL (SQLAlchemy + Alembic), Redis caching, and JWT/RBAC authentication while improving API performance and test coverage.

I am passionate about cloud security, GitOps, and scalable infrastructure engineering, and I create practical automation using OpenAI APIs and n8n to streamline DevOps workflows and accelerate team productivity.
