Description

As a DevOps and Platform Engineer, I help organizations build, automate, and secure scalable cloud-native solutions on AWS and Kubernetes. With 8 years of experience, I specialize in delivering reliable infrastructure through Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation), designing robust CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins), and deploying high-availability applications with ECS, EKS, and serverless services. I excel at optimizing costs, improving system observability, and embedding cloud security best practices into every project. My value comes from bridging the gap between development and operations, leading teams, mentoring engineers, and driving adoption of DevOps culture in both startups and large enterprises.
