About

Professional summary

I am a Site Reliability and DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience managing containerized workloads and Kubernetes-based platforms. I specialize in cloud infrastructure on AWS and other providers, focusing strongly on observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch. My expertise includes incident response and Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible.

I have built and maintained CI/CD pipelines, automating operational tasks with Python and Bash to improve deployment efficiency and reliability. I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to enhance system scalability and uptime in distributed systems.

Currently, I work as a Cloud DevOps Engineer at Ismile Technologies, where I administer cloud infrastructure and containerized workloads, improving system reliability significantly. I operate Kubernetes environments and optimize observability through dashboards and alerts.

Previously, I interned as a Cloud Engineer and DevSecOps Intern, where I gained experience in infrastructure management, security automation, and threat detection. I have developed automated response playbooks and integrated security tools into CI/CD pipelines to ensure secure deployments.

I am passionate about leveraging cloud technologies and automation to reduce downtime and improve operational workflows. I continuously seek opportunities to enhance system reliability and security while driving efficiency through automation and best practices.
