What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on DevOps/platform role focusing on CI/CD automation, cloud-native infrastructure, observability, and opportunities to improve reliability and scale.

I am a DevOps engineer with over 5 years' experience building CI/CD pipelines, automating infrastructure, and improving operational efficiency across cloud environments. I focus on shipping reliable software faster while reducing errors and costs.

At Telefonica Tech I implemented monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, automated deployments with GitLab CI/CD, and provisioned infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible — delivering measurable reductions in deployment time, errors, and resource consumption.

My background includes Kubernetes orchestration, AWS services (EKS, EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, CloudWatch), tooling such as Docker, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and strong scripting skills in Python and shell. I prioritize secure, observable, and scalable systems that support continuous delivery.
