DevOpsProfessional
With hands-on experience in DevOps and cloud infrastructure, I specialize in automating CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, and Kubernetes orchestration. My expertise spans AWS, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions, and Argo CD. I focus on building scalable, reliable systems using GitOps and infrastructure as code best practices.
I'm passionate about creating efficient, scalable, and resilient infrastructure that enables development teams to deliver value faster. My approach combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of DevOps culture and methodologies.
Throughout my career, I've helped organizations of all sizes—from startups to enterprises—modernize their infrastructure, implement automation, and adopt cloud-native technologies. I believe in infrastructure as code, continuous delivery, and building systems that are observable, maintainable, and secure by design.
When I'm not automating infrastructure or optimizing pipelines, you'll find me contributing to open-source projects, mentoring junior engineers, or exploring the latest technologies in the cloud-native ecosystem.
